Narrative:
Due to a clerical error on my part, my medical expired. I have my due dates written down. My flight instructor is up 6/99, my medical was up 9/98. I had written down 9/99 for the medical and thus let the medical lapse. I have not been flying full time limited flight instructions and I believe everyone I flew with during the expired time were qualified pilots, so I didn't violate the FARS, but it's a big oops anyway. Not flying full time and clerical error led to this.
