The San Jose FSDO gave me a ferry permit with the proviso "All ADs complied with".

But some of the ADs required regular inspection. *I pretty much had to get

I have a Mooney which requires all flight controls and gear to be
lubed plus a gear load test by AD. At that point you might as well
just do the annual. You sure as heck don't want to open all those
panels up to do the AD and then have to open them again to do the
annual. That's about 4 hours of screw turning.
