Narrative:

I was flying VFR in my personal airplane (lancair es) from 2v1 (pagosa springs) to cos; no flight plan. I have an apollo gk-60 IFR certified GPS and mx-20 color moving map. Both had correct data cards in them. I was also referencing a current (apr/fri/05) commercial 9/10 low altitude chart. We had been cruising at 13500 ft MSL. As we approached publication and began our descent into cos; we got some continuous moderate turbulence over the mountains. I was approaching the airburst MOA's and checked them on my low chart; which showed that they were active days: tuesday through saturday; overtime by NOTAM. Since it was sunday; I assumed they were not in use; so I cut the corner of airburst C MOA to head up towards cos. Shortly after clearing the mountains; I called to check in with cos approach. When I did; the controller told me that I'd just gone through restr airspace. I told him what it said on my chart; but he said that area was hot 24/7. I called the controller on the phone after landing to try to clear up the confusion. He said he didn't have access to the chart I was looking at; but would check into it. I plan to call him back to see what he found out. I asked if I needed to file a NASA report and he said no; but I decided to anyway in case the information on the chart is in error. The only way I may have violated restr airspace is if I crossed into R2601; which I believe I did not. Even if I did; I checked into it and R260/a shows active only monday through friday; not 24/7. My source was pilot group flight planner; which uses commercial software for its charting. If R2601 and/or the airburst MOA's are hot all the time; company X needs to correct its charts.

Title: PLT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE HOMEBUILT ENTERS MOA NEAR PUB AFTER ASSUMING IT WAS NOT HOT.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING VFR IN MY PERSONAL AIRPLANE (LANCAIR ES) FROM 2V1 (PAGOSA SPRINGS) TO COS; NO FLT PLAN. I HAVE AN APOLLO GK-60 IFR CERTIFIED GPS AND MX-20 COLOR MOVING MAP. BOTH HAD CORRECT DATA CARDS IN THEM. I WAS ALSO REFING A CURRENT (APR/FRI/05) COMMERCIAL 9/10 LOW ALT CHART. WE HAD BEEN CRUISING AT 13500 FT MSL. AS WE APCHED PUB AND BEGAN OUR DSCNT INTO COS; WE GOT SOME CONTINUOUS MODERATE TURB OVER THE MOUNTAINS. I WAS APCHING THE AIRBURST MOA'S AND CHKED THEM ON MY LOW CHART; WHICH SHOWED THAT THEY WERE ACTIVE DAYS: TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY; OVERTIME BY NOTAM. SINCE IT WAS SUNDAY; I ASSUMED THEY WERE NOT IN USE; SO I CUT THE CORNER OF AIRBURST C MOA TO HEAD UP TOWARDS COS. SHORTLY AFTER CLRING THE MOUNTAINS; I CALLED TO CHK IN WITH COS APCH. WHEN I DID; THE CTLR TOLD ME THAT I'D JUST GONE THROUGH RESTR AIRSPACE. I TOLD HIM WHAT IT SAID ON MY CHART; BUT HE SAID THAT AREA WAS HOT 24/7. I CALLED THE CTLR ON THE PHONE AFTER LNDG TO TRY TO CLR UP THE CONFUSION. HE SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE CHART I WAS LOOKING AT; BUT WOULD CHK INTO IT. I PLAN TO CALL HIM BACK TO SEE WHAT HE FOUND OUT. I ASKED IF I NEEDED TO FILE A NASA RPT AND HE SAID NO; BUT I DECIDED TO ANYWAY IN CASE THE INFO ON THE CHART IS IN ERROR. THE ONLY WAY I MAY HAVE VIOLATED RESTR AIRSPACE IS IF I CROSSED INTO R2601; WHICH I BELIEVE I DID NOT. EVEN IF I DID; I CHKED INTO IT AND R260/A SHOWS ACTIVE ONLY MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY; NOT 24/7. MY SOURCE WAS PLT GROUP FLT PLANNER; WHICH USES COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE FOR ITS CHARTING. IF R2601 AND/OR THE AIRBURST MOA'S ARE HOT ALL THE TIME; COMPANY X NEEDS TO CORRECT ITS CHARTS.
