Is it the date of the Air Worthiness Certificate, first flight or?

I'm coming up on the one year mark.

TIA

Airworthiness Certificate

Check your Operating Limitations for exact wording!  From the EAA website:

When does the condition inspection expire on my homebuilt?
The answer depends on the wording of your aircraft's operating limitations. In the vast majority of the cases, the operating limitations require that a condition inspection have been completed and recorded in the aircraft records within the preceding 12 calendar months. The word "calendar" is key, as this means that the condition inspection runs through the end of the 12th month. For example, a condition inspection was completed and recorded in the aircraft records on 06/15/2014 would be in force through 06/30/2015 (i.e. through the end of June).

In rare cases, the operating limitations require the condition inspection to have been completed within the preceding 12 months. The absence of the word "calendar" means that the condition inspection would expire at the end of exactly 12 months (i.e., on the date of the previous inspection), rather than at the end of the 12th month. This situation is not common, but does exist. Homebuilt aircraft owners should check their operating limitations to verify the condition inspection requirements.

My FAA inspector made it easy for me.  He said that prior to his arrival to present an airworthiness certificate, I was to perform a condition inspection and make a log book entry and gave me the wording to use.  This wording was the same that I later saw in my operating limitations.  That pretty much nailed down the beginning of the calendar year for me.  Even though I performed the inspection on the same month as the issuance of the airworthiness certificate, it became a no-brainer,
