Narrative:

Obtained WX brief at ZZZ, ak. I must have missed mention of the tfr in place over valdez. On approach into valdez, I flew unknowingly through the tfr. Approximately 4 days later, I learned of the tfr in place over valdez and am certain I penetrated this airspace. Contributing factors were operations in VFR in an area I was unfamiliar with and the type of briefing I received. (I gather the WX briefer assumed I was familiar with the tfr.) in the future, I have learned to ask more questions, though it would be terrific if the FAA would issue special sectional charts depicting such airspaces.

Narrative: OBTAINED WX BRIEF AT ZZZ, AK. I MUST HAVE MISSED MENTION OF THE TFR IN PLACE OVER VALDEZ. ON APCH INTO VALDEZ, I FLEW UNKNOWINGLY THROUGH THE TFR. APPROX 4 DAYS LATER, I LEARNED OF THE TFR IN PLACE OVER VALDEZ AND AM CERTAIN I PENETRATED THIS AIRSPACE. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE OPS IN VFR IN AN AREA I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH AND THE TYPE OF BRIEFING I RECEIVED. (I GATHER THE WX BRIEFER ASSUMED I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE TFR.) IN THE FUTURE, I HAVE LEARNED TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS, THOUGH IT WOULD BE TERRIFIC IF THE FAA WOULD ISSUE SPECIAL SECTIONAL CHARTS DEPICTING SUCH AIRSPACES.
