Narrative

WHILE ON A XCOUNTRY TRAINING FLT; I BECAME DISORIENTED (JUST PLAIN LOST). THIS WAS A RESULT OF MY NOT TRUSTING MY INSTS. MY FLT WAS PLANNED FROM OCALA TO LAKELAND. I LOST MY BEARINGS SOMEWHERE ABOUT 20 NM N OF LAKELAND. AFTER FLYING AROUND FOR ABOUT 1/2 HR; I STILL COULD NOT PINPOINT MY LOCATION. IT WAS AT THIS TIME I CALLED ST PETERSBURG FSS AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE. I WAS ADVISED TO MAINTAIN MY ALT (1700 FT) AND TO TURN TO A HDG AND TO SQUAWK 7700 ON MY XPONDER. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF THIS; I NOTICED AN ARPT OFF MY R WING. AFTER CHKING THE WINDSOCK AND 1 ACFT TAKING OFF AND 1 ACFT LNDG; I LANDED AT THIS ARPT. UPON PULLING UP TO AN OFFICE OF A FLT SCHOOL LOCATED AT THIS ARPT; IT WAS THERE THAT I LEARNED THAT I WAS AT KISSIMMEE ARPT. IT WAS HERE THAT I CALLED ST PETERSBURG FSS AND INFORMED THEM OF MY LOCATION. WHILE AT KISSIMMEE; I LEARNED FROM AN EXPERIENCED PLT THAT I WAS BUT 35 MI FROM LAKELAND. UPON RECEIVING A COURSE TO LAKELAND; PLUS SOME SOUND ADVICE ON GETTING 'UNLOST;' I PROCEEDED TO LAND AT LAKELAND AND FROM THERE; FLEW BACK TO OCALA. I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY VIOLATION UNTIL MY RETURN TO OCALA; AND DURING THE CRITIQUE OF MY FLT BY MY FLT INSTRUCTOR; I WAS ADVISED TO SUBMIT THIS RPT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 332780: I SIGNED A STUDENT OFF FOR A XCOUNTRY. THE STUDENT FLEW TO LAL AT 2500 FT AND TURNED L WHEN THE VOR CHANGED FROM 'TO' TO 'FROM.' (HE WAS OVER LAL ARPT; IN THEIR AIRSPACE.) HE THEN WANDERED TO THE E WHERE HE LANDED AT ISM. HE WAS CRUISING AT 2000 FT; IN MCO CLASS B. HE FLEW BACK WITHOUT INCIDENT. ORLANDO TRACON WAS CALLED ON THE LANDLINE BY ME; THEY WERE UNAWARE HE WAS IN THEIR AIRSPACE. THE STUDENT HAS RECEIVED MORE GND SCHOOL AND WILL GET MORE FLT INSTRUCTION ON AIRSPACE TO HOPEFULLY AVOID THIS PROB IN THE FUTURE.
