Narrative:

I was hired to fly a photographer on a mission over flood-stricken franklin, va, and roanoke rapids. A 'self brief' was conducted with a commercial WX terminal and everything looked fine for the proposed flight. The flight was completed and on my way back to orf, I heard company traffic request a clearance that was denied due to a temporary flight restr. That got me thinking. I used ATC flight following from orf to fkn, terminated and continued to rzz for more pictures. On the way back, I contacted ZDC within the restr area but was told to go back to squawking VFR and to contact orf approach. Nothing was mentioned of the temporary flight restr. I checked duats when I returned and discovered that I had been in the temporary flight restr area for some time during the flight. I will never rely on briefing terminals for up-to-date fdc NOTAMS again without backup from FSS or a duat brief.

Title: PLT OF A C172RG INADVERTENTLY PENETRATED A TEMPORARY FLT RESTR AIRSPACE DURING A PHOTO SHOOT.

Narrative: I WAS HIRED TO FLY A PHOTOGRAPHER ON A MISSION OVER FLOOD-STRICKEN FRANKLIN, VA, AND ROANOKE RAPIDS. A 'SELF BRIEF' WAS CONDUCTED WITH A COMMERCIAL WX TERMINAL AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE FOR THE PROPOSED FLT. THE FLT WAS COMPLETED AND ON MY WAY BACK TO ORF, I HEARD COMPANY TFC REQUEST A CLRNC THAT WAS DENIED DUE TO A TEMPORARY FLT RESTR. THAT GOT ME THINKING. I USED ATC FLT FOLLOWING FROM ORF TO FKN, TERMINATED AND CONTINUED TO RZZ FOR MORE PICTURES. ON THE WAY BACK, I CONTACTED ZDC WITHIN THE RESTR AREA BUT WAS TOLD TO GO BACK TO SQUAWKING VFR AND TO CONTACT ORF APCH. NOTHING WAS MENTIONED OF THE TEMPORARY FLT RESTR. I CHKED DUATS WHEN I RETURNED AND DISCOVERED THAT I HAD BEEN IN THE TEMPORARY FLT RESTR AREA FOR SOME TIME DURING THE FLT. I WILL NEVER RELY ON BRIEFING TERMINALS FOR UP-TO-DATE FDC NOTAMS AGAIN WITHOUT BACKUP FROM FSS OR A DUAT BRIEF.
