I'm sure the AD gave him time to get it done without the hardship of a

Not pertinent to this case (I believe, he didn't say which AD he was
running out of time for) but there are cases where the AD specifically
doesn't give you any way to do it - even with a ferry permit (see AD
2005-05-53 R1, the one for the mis-rigged flight controls in some new
Cessna 172 and 182 aircraft as an example - "(2) Special flight
permits or positioning flights are not permitted for this AD."

I guess Cessna had to fly in A&Ps to do the rigging check and any
appropriate fix in-situ for aircraft parked anywhere without an
on-site maint facility.
