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.
