Narrative:
I was on a VFR flight from pga to aeg on mar/fri/04. I had called 800-WX-brief that morning to get a WX briefing. I opted for the prerecorded briefing for the fmn to abq briefing. Upon the completion of the WX portion, I terminated the call as our ride to the airport had arrived. This was a major error on my part, as I did not receive the current NOTAMS. I did have a copy of the NOTAMS I had received for the flight over on wednesday. There was nothing in the briefing that indicated any tfr's or other NOTAMS that would affect my flight. I then proceeded with the flight from pga to aeg. Upon landing, I was told by the FBO to proceed directly to his office. Upon entering, I was informed that I had penetrated the tfr and that there was a person from center that wanted to talk to me. I asked when the tfr had gone into effect and at what time had I penetrated the tfr airspace. I was informed that it had gone into effect at XA45 and that my incursion occurred at XA47. I looked at my watch, which was indicating approximately XA50. I acknowledge that my proper preflight planning is to blame for this occurrence. My false sense of compliance by assuming that a 48 hour old NOTAM was sufficient was a contributing factor. It is my intention to attend a safety seminar as soon as my schedule will allow. This incident could have been avoided by my proper preflight, but also by a simple notification on the unicom by the FBO when I called in my intentions at 20 mi out from the aeg airport. He indicated to me he had heard my xmissions when I was 20 mi from the aeg field. Would not a simple 'heads up' that I was about to inadvertently violate a tfr been avoided by this action?

Title: PLT OF BE35 ENTERS TFR NEAR ABQ AFTER FAILING TO OBTAIN COMPREHENSIVE FLT BRIEFING.
Narrative: I WAS ON A VFR FLT FROM PGA TO AEG ON MAR/FRI/04. I HAD CALLED 800-WX-BRIEF THAT MORNING TO GET A WX BRIEFING. I OPTED FOR THE PRERECORDED BRIEFING FOR THE FMN TO ABQ BRIEFING. UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE WX PORTION, I TERMINATED THE CALL AS OUR RIDE TO THE ARPT HAD ARRIVED. THIS WAS A MAJOR ERROR ON MY PART, AS I DID NOT RECEIVE THE CURRENT NOTAMS. I DID HAVE A COPY OF THE NOTAMS I HAD RECEIVED FOR THE FLT OVER ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE BRIEFING THAT INDICATED ANY TFR'S OR OTHER NOTAMS THAT WOULD AFFECT MY FLT. I THEN PROCEEDED WITH THE FLT FROM PGA TO AEG. UPON LNDG, I WAS TOLD BY THE FBO TO PROCEED DIRECTLY TO HIS OFFICE. UPON ENTERING, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD PENETRATED THE TFR AND THAT THERE WAS A PERSON FROM CTR THAT WANTED TO TALK TO ME. I ASKED WHEN THE TFR HAD GONE INTO EFFECT AND AT WHAT TIME HAD I PENETRATED THE TFR AIRSPACE. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT HAD GONE INTO EFFECT AT XA45 AND THAT MY INCURSION OCCURRED AT XA47. I LOOKED AT MY WATCH, WHICH WAS INDICATING APPROX XA50. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY PROPER PREFLT PLANNING IS TO BLAME FOR THIS OCCURRENCE. MY FALSE SENSE OF COMPLIANCE BY ASSUMING THAT A 48 HR OLD NOTAM WAS SUFFICIENT WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. IT IS MY INTENTION TO ATTEND A SAFETY SEMINAR AS SOON AS MY SCHEDULE WILL ALLOW. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY MY PROPER PREFLT, BUT ALSO BY A SIMPLE NOTIFICATION ON THE UNICOM BY THE FBO WHEN I CALLED IN MY INTENTIONS AT 20 MI OUT FROM THE AEG ARPT. HE INDICATED TO ME HE HAD HEARD MY XMISSIONS WHEN I WAS 20 MI FROM THE AEG FIELD. WOULD NOT A SIMPLE 'HEADS UP' THAT I WAS ABOUT TO INADVERTENTLY VIOLATE A TFR BEEN AVOIDED BY THIS ACTION?
