Narrative:

On mar/fri/93, a student and myself flew VFR to tvi from lzu. On the return leg home, tvi to lzu, we had radio failure and no VOR. At one point, I knew of our relative position. I called macon radio for a DF steer. I talked with macon radio and said we were southwest of macon. At that point the radio failed to transmit. Because of the strong wind from the west, our left wind correction angle was too much. We entered restr airspace R-3002 a, B, C, and F (which was hot). We made a right turn to 035 degree heading to leave the airspace. The rest of the trip was uneventful. This flight proved to me that it does not matter how much time and ratings a person may have. Under certain conditions and factors we can all fall prey to the lack of planning.

Title: A FLT INSTRUCTOR ENTERED RESTR AIRSPACE.

Narrative: ON MAR/FRI/93, A STUDENT AND MYSELF FLEW VFR TO TVI FROM LZU. ON THE RETURN LEG HOME, TVI TO LZU, WE HAD RADIO FAILURE AND NO VOR. AT ONE POINT, I KNEW OF OUR RELATIVE POS. I CALLED MACON RADIO FOR A DF STEER. I TALKED WITH MACON RADIO AND SAID WE WERE SW OF MACON. AT THAT POINT THE RADIO FAILED TO XMIT. BECAUSE OF THE STRONG WIND FROM THE W, OUR L WIND CORRECTION ANGLE WAS TOO MUCH. WE ENTERED RESTR AIRSPACE R-3002 A, B, C, AND F (WHICH WAS HOT). WE MADE A R TURN TO 035 DEG HDG TO LEAVE THE AIRSPACE. THE REST OF THE TRIP WAS UNEVENTFUL. THIS FLT PROVED TO ME THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH TIME AND RATINGS A PERSON MAY HAVE. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND FACTORS WE CAN ALL FALL PREY TO THE LACK OF PLANNING.
