Narrative:
While traveling west to east at 2000 ft MSL directly over clearwater airpark, I may have entered class B while maneuvering for sight-seeing. Closer observance of position over the ground-versus-chart would help to avoid this reoccurrence. I was probably more concerned with traffic around the airpark than with my specific location. Class B airspace is just a short distance to the east of the airpark.

Narrative: WHILE TRAVELING W TO E AT 2000 FT MSL DIRECTLY OVER CLEARWATER AIRPARK, I MAY HAVE ENTERED CLASS B WHILE MANEUVERING FOR SIGHT-SEEING. CLOSER OBSERVANCE OF POS OVER THE GND-VERSUS-CHART WOULD HELP TO AVOID THIS REOCCURRENCE. I WAS PROBABLY MORE CONCERNED WITH TFC AROUND THE AIRPARK THAN WITH MY SPECIFIC LOCATION. CLASS B AIRSPACE IS JUST A SHORT DISTANCE TO THE E OF THE AIRPARK.
