Narrative:

Returning from a dual instruction flight in owner's aircraft asked acy approach about R5001 a/B. Was told active from surface to 1000 ft AGL, but R-5002 was active from surface to 14000 ft. I planned my route to be clear of this area and instructed owner/student to maintain GPS and VOR course to the coyle VOR to be clear of R5002. I then began time, fuel, distances and wind computations for our last phase of flight and to instruct my student on these. When I was finished, I noticed that we had drifted much further to the east than planned and off course some 8 M putting us in R5002, 2.5 mi. Mcguire approach informed us of our position, but no other action was taken except to expedite our departure from the restr area. Being PIC of such flts, I will be more alert to students actions, especially during close encounters of special area space and be sure that all phases of flts are supervised. Complacency was also a factor.

Title: HDG TRACK POS DEV DURING TRAINING IN PROGRESS WITH GPS NAV SYS.

Narrative: RETURNING FROM A DUAL INSTRUCTION FLT IN OWNER'S ACFT ASKED ACY APCH ABOUT R5001 A/B. WAS TOLD ACTIVE FROM SURFACE TO 1000 FT AGL, BUT R-5002 WAS ACTIVE FROM SURFACE TO 14000 FT. I PLANNED MY RTE TO BE CLR OF THIS AREA AND INSTRUCTED OWNER/STUDENT TO MAINTAIN GPS AND VOR COURSE TO THE COYLE VOR TO BE CLR OF R5002. I THEN BEGAN TIME, FUEL, DISTANCES AND WIND COMPUTATIONS FOR OUR LAST PHASE OF FLT AND TO INSTRUCT MY STUDENT ON THESE. WHEN I WAS FINISHED, I NOTICED THAT WE HAD DRIFTED MUCH FURTHER TO THE E THAN PLANNED AND OFF COURSE SOME 8 M PUTTING US IN R5002, 2.5 MI. MCGUIRE APCH INFORMED US OF OUR POS, BUT NO OTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN EXCEPT TO EXPEDITE OUR DEP FROM THE RESTR AREA. BEING PIC OF SUCH FLTS, I WILL BE MORE ALERT TO STUDENTS ACTIONS, ESPECIALLY DURING CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF SPECIAL AREA SPACE AND BE SURE THAT ALL PHASES OF FLTS ARE SUPERVISED. COMPLACENCY WAS ALSO A FACTOR.
