Narrative:
My instructor and I were flying on the 340 degree radial from fdk VOR to intercept hagerstown's localizer. On both the government and commercial approach plates this radial shows clear of P40 prohibited airspace. Upon contacting hagerstown tower we were told that washington center tracked us through P40 and to contact them upon landing. After contacting them we were told that we were as much as 2 mi inside P40 and that this was a common problem. I have enclosed copies of both the government and commercial approach plates for the hagerstown ILS runway 27 apches to show that the 340 degree radial shows clear of P40. Our aircraft had a current VOR check with a 0 degree error.
