Narrative:
While flying VFR from grand stand myrtle beach en route to akron, oh, I flew over R-5311 at 10000 ft. This restr area is surrounded by magenta MOA's for fort bragg and I only looked up altitude in MOA's which the highest being 6000 ft. Thinking I was above the MOA I proceeded into restr area 5311 which goes to 29000 ft. In talking to a representative of the army I found out that I and several other aircraft were in error on that same day. The army representative said he believed that I flew into this restr area in error and was doing nothing about it at this time. The bottom line is simply that I missed the blue line in middle of magenta MOA.

Title: A PVT PLT ERRONEOUSLY ENTERED RESTR AIRSPACE. THE PLT CLAIMS THAT THE AIRSPACE WASN'T VISIBLE IN THE MAGENTA COLORED MOA'S.
Narrative: WHILE FLYING VFR FROM GRAND STAND MYRTLE BEACH ENRTE TO AKRON, OH, I FLEW OVER R-5311 AT 10000 FT. THIS RESTR AREA IS SURROUNDED BY MAGENTA MOA'S FOR FORT BRAGG AND I ONLY LOOKED UP ALT IN MOA'S WHICH THE HIGHEST BEING 6000 FT. THINKING I WAS ABOVE THE MOA I PROCEEDED INTO RESTR AREA 5311 WHICH GOES TO 29000 FT. IN TALKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ARMY I FOUND OUT THAT I AND SEVERAL OTHER ACFT WERE IN ERROR ON THAT SAME DAY. THE ARMY REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE BELIEVED THAT I FLEW INTO THIS RESTR AREA IN ERROR AND WAS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT AT THIS TIME. THE BOTTOM LINE IS SIMPLY THAT I MISSED THE BLUE LINE IN MIDDLE OF MAGENTA MOA.
