Narrative:

Flying in a single engine aircraft, I was inbound from the north, planning to land at salt lake skypark in bountiful, utah. This was the first time I had flown into this area. In planning for this flight, I referred to a salt lake sectional I had borrowed from another pilot. I had noted on this sectional, that the salt lake area was bounded by an arsa with the outer boundary to the north being near the ogden airport. As I approached ogden from the north, I contacted the ogden control tower and requested permission to overfly the ogden control zone. The ogden control tower acknowledged my radio transmission, and gave me permission to overfly the ogden control zone. Shortly afterward, I made a radio call to salt lake approach, stating my position and altitude, and requesting clearance to land at the salt lake skypark in bountiful. Salt lake approach called back, asking me to restate my altitude and position, which I radioed back to him. Salt lake approach then transmitted to me that I had penetrated the salt lake TCA without a clearance. Approach then directed me to turn left 20 degree and descend to 6000 ft MSL. I was also assigned a transponder code at this time. After I crossed to the east side of interstate highway I-15, salt lake approach told me to fly south. Shortly thereafter, salt lake approach cleared me to land at salt lake skypark. I then turned to base for runway 16 at salt lake skypark, and on the skypark unicom frequency, announced my intentions to land on runway 16 at the skypark, which I did. After tying the airplane down, I checked the salt lake sectional and found that it had been published before the salt lake city TCA had been put into place, and based on the sectional I had, I expected to be flying into the salt lake arsa and did not realize that a TCA had been established around salt lake. As a result of this experience, I realize the necessity of always checking navigation charts to be sure they are current.

Title: UNAUTHORIZED PENETRATION OF AIRSPACE BY SMA PLT.

Narrative: FLYING IN A SINGLE ENG ACFT, I WAS INBOUND FROM THE N, PLANNING TO LAND AT SALT LAKE SKYPARK IN BOUNTIFUL, UTAH. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD FLOWN INTO THIS AREA. IN PLANNING FOR THIS FLT, I REFERRED TO A SALT LAKE SECTIONAL I HAD BORROWED FROM ANOTHER PLT. I HAD NOTED ON THIS SECTIONAL, THAT THE SALT LAKE AREA WAS BOUNDED BY AN ARSA WITH THE OUTER BOUNDARY TO THE N BEING NEAR THE OGDEN ARPT. AS I APCHED OGDEN FROM THE N, I CONTACTED THE OGDEN CTL TWR AND REQUESTED PERMISSION TO OVERFLY THE OGDEN CTL ZONE. THE OGDEN CTL TWR ACKNOWLEDGED MY RADIO XMISSION, AND GAVE ME PERMISSION TO OVERFLY THE OGDEN CTL ZONE. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, I MADE A RADIO CALL TO SALT LAKE APCH, STATING MY POS AND ALT, AND REQUESTING CLRNC TO LAND AT THE SALT LAKE SKYPARK IN BOUNTIFUL. SALT LAKE APCH CALLED BACK, ASKING ME TO RESTATE MY ALT AND POS, WHICH I RADIOED BACK TO HIM. SALT LAKE APCH THEN XMITTED TO ME THAT I HAD PENETRATED THE SALT LAKE TCA WITHOUT A CLRNC. APCH THEN DIRECTED ME TO TURN L 20 DEG AND DSND TO 6000 FT MSL. I WAS ALSO ASSIGNED A TRANSPONDER CODE AT THIS TIME. AFTER I CROSSED TO THE E SIDE OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I-15, SALT LAKE APCH TOLD ME TO FLY S. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, SALT LAKE APCH CLRED ME TO LAND AT SALT LAKE SKYPARK. I THEN TURNED TO BASE FOR RWY 16 AT SALT LAKE SKYPARK, AND ON THE SKYPARK UNICOM FREQ, ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS TO LAND ON RWY 16 AT THE SKYPARK, WHICH I DID. AFTER TYING THE AIRPLANE DOWN, I CHKED THE SALT LAKE SECTIONAL AND FOUND THAT IT HAD BEEN PUBLISHED BEFORE THE SALT LAKE CITY TCA HAD BEEN PUT INTO PLACE, AND BASED ON THE SECTIONAL I HAD, I EXPECTED TO BE FLYING INTO THE SALT LAKE ARSA AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT A TCA HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED AROUND SALT LAKE. AS A RESULT OF THIS EXPERIENCE, I REALIZE THE NECESSITY OF ALWAYS CHKING NAV CHARTS TO BE SURE THEY ARE CURRENT.
