Narrative:
While returning aircraft to maintenance base for 100 hour inspection under far part 91, I inadvertently overflew an airworthiness directive due to the fact that the airworthiness directives are due on the 100 hour inspection. I mistakenly understood that I would be able to use far 91.409 for the purpose of getting back to my maintenance base.
