Fellas, I am not sure how in the hell this happened, but here's my situ.
Got my HS-125 type in June of 2005. Had a 25 hr. SOE at the time of issuance because it was my first type. At the time my training director and I flew the 25 hours and he gave me a signoff. We called the local FSDO and we faxed them that info.
My memory of this event, four years later, is hazy from this point. But what it boils down to is my ATP cert. still says, after all this time, "LIMITATIONS: THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO PILOT-IN-COMMAND LIMITATION FOR HS-125."
Well, if you fast forward from then 'til now, I have logged over 1100 hours of PIC time in Hawkers but I have had that limitation on there the whole time. I have no idea how I managed to completely forget about this but it came up when I was at FlightSafety in Wichita, and they caught it.
Question: how to fix with no pain? I can't find the letter that my training director wrote back in the day (although I think he'd reproduce it for me if I asked). We both sat through this process back in 2005 and what I *think* happened is some random inspector at the FSDO told us that if I had the 25 hours logged that my limitation no longer applied. I am sure this is incorrect in retrospect.
Am I at risk of being in violation for flying ('acting as' PIC) in the meantime? This has all been pt. 91. What I'm thinking about is maybe ignoring the issue of the last four years, taking a single piece of paper showing 25 recent hours signed off by my current training director (who's down with helping out) and asking to have the limitation removed that way.
Anyway... hell... don't know how in the world I overlooked this all this time, but I did. Suggestions appreciated.
