Narrative:

On apr/mon/01 I realized my medical (class III) and BFR had expired. This occurred after I had been flying for 2 months after a lengthy 1 yr rebuild of the left wing spars from the previous annual inspection. The BFR expired jul/00 -- the medical in may/00. Although I wasn't flying until feb/01, I failed to recognize the expiration dates and unwittingly flew in violation of the FARS.
