Narrative:

Planned to pass just south of the south limits of dvt class D airspace which would put me just north of phx class B. This cirrus has a 'glass cockpit' that I'm just getting used to; and in trying to deal with traffic alerts; waypoint and engine pages; and other issues; I let my attention wander from the moving map showing the airspace limits. Thus; I inadvertently flew northeast into deer valley's airspace at which point I immediately turned south to exit. In retrospect I should have called the tower and told them who I was and what my intentions were.

Title: THREADING THE NEEDLE BETWEEN PHX CLASS B AND DVT CLASS D PROVES UNSUCCESSFUL FOR AN SR20 PLT.

Narrative: PLANNED TO PASS JUST S OF THE S LIMITS OF DVT CLASS D AIRSPACE WHICH WOULD PUT ME JUST N OF PHX CLASS B. THIS CIRRUS HAS A 'GLASS COCKPIT' THAT I'M JUST GETTING USED TO; AND IN TRYING TO DEAL WITH TFC ALERTS; WAYPOINT AND ENG PAGES; AND OTHER ISSUES; I LET MY ATTENTION WANDER FROM THE MOVING MAP SHOWING THE AIRSPACE LIMITS. THUS; I INADVERTENTLY FLEW NE INTO DEER VALLEY'S AIRSPACE AT WHICH POINT I IMMEDIATELY TURNED S TO EXIT. IN RETROSPECT I SHOULD HAVE CALLED THE TWR AND TOLD THEM WHO I WAS AND WHAT MY INTENTIONS WERE.
