Narrative:

I misread to read before fly airworthiness directive X and thought it had already gone into effect, so I used our normal profiles for climb and dscnts on all 700 flts that day. I was asked by a few controllers about our speed and I stated it did not apply to this aircraft. My memory served me not so well, I thought I read that a logbook entry would be made and then that aircraft would be speed restr, so after looking for a logbook entry and not finding one, I operated the 700 in VFR, no icing conditions, flts using our standard profiles. After getting home and rereading the rbf, I had made a number of mistakes in reading it. First the effective date (the date did not dawn on me because I thought it went into effect immediately) the fact that even though the 700 had never been deiced, maintenance was required to clean and remove the flight restr sticker. Therefore, I have now started to carry a broke boeing book. I have started reprinting all the rbf's that pertain to the 700 (fuel system with changes, speed brake usage and airspeed limitations with changes) and am now including them in my 'required' manuals. With all the changes that are coming out daily, I have found that I am no longer able to keep up with them and am needing to reprint them. I feel this is the best course of action to prevent operating our aircraft in a manner contrary to our manuals.

Title: A B737-700 WAS OPERATED IN NON COMPLIANCE OF AN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE AIRSPD LIMITATION. FLC EXPECTED LOGBOOK ENTRY ON SPD LIMIT.

Narrative: I MISREAD TO READ BEFORE FLY AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE X AND THOUGHT IT HAD ALREADY GONE INTO EFFECT, SO I USED OUR NORMAL PROFILES FOR CLB AND DSCNTS ON ALL 700 FLTS THAT DAY. I WAS ASKED BY A FEW CTLRS ABOUT OUR SPD AND I STATED IT DID NOT APPLY TO THIS ACFT. MY MEMORY SERVED ME NOT SO WELL, I THOUGHT I READ THAT A LOGBOOK ENTRY WOULD BE MADE AND THEN THAT ACFT WOULD BE SPD RESTR, SO AFTER LOOKING FOR A LOGBOOK ENTRY AND NOT FINDING ONE, I OPERATED THE 700 IN VFR, NO ICING CONDITIONS, FLTS USING OUR STANDARD PROFILES. AFTER GETTING HOME AND REREADING THE RBF, I HAD MADE A NUMBER OF MISTAKES IN READING IT. FIRST THE EFFECTIVE DATE (THE DATE DID NOT DAWN ON ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WENT INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY) THE FACT THAT EVEN THOUGH THE 700 HAD NEVER BEEN DEICED, MAINT WAS REQUIRED TO CLEAN AND REMOVE THE FLT RESTR STICKER. THEREFORE, I HAVE NOW STARTED TO CARRY A BROKE BOEING BOOK. I HAVE STARTED REPRINTING ALL THE RBF'S THAT PERTAIN TO THE 700 (FUEL SYS WITH CHANGES, SPD BRAKE USAGE AND AIRSPD LIMITATIONS WITH CHANGES) AND AM NOW INCLUDING THEM IN MY 'REQUIRED' MANUALS. WITH ALL THE CHANGES THAT ARE COMING OUT DAILY, I HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THEM AND AM NEEDING TO REPRINT THEM. I FEEL THIS IS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION TO PREVENT OPERATING OUR ACFT IN A MANNER CONTRARY TO OUR MANUALS.
