Narrative:
There was moderate turbulence. For a short time, I did not realize my position relative to landmarks. I doubt that I actually violated airspace, but I could have. I was taking a different route than I normally do, and probably should have spent more time studying the charts before the flight. Turbulence was a contributing workload factor.

Narrative: THERE WAS MODERATE TURB. FOR A SHORT TIME, I DID NOT REALIZE MY POS RELATIVE TO LANDMARKS. I DOUBT THAT I ACTUALLY VIOLATED AIRSPACE, BUT I COULD HAVE. I WAS TAKING A DIFFERENT RTE THAN I NORMALLY DO, AND PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME STUDYING THE CHARTS BEFORE THE FLT. TURB WAS A CONTRIBUTING WORKLOAD FACTOR.
