PLT OF SMA ATTEMPTING APCH IN IFR CONDITIONS HITS TURB AND CHARTS FLY ALL OVER THE COCKPIT. UNABLE TO COMPLETE APCH HE REQUESTS VECTORS TO A NEARBY ARPT; THEN AN AIR HOLD TO ASSEMBLE HIS CHARTS AGAIN. IN THE PROCESS HE HAS AN ALTDEV.

Narrative

I WAS THE PLT AND SOLE OCCUPANT OF A BE35 BONANZA CRUISING AT 8000 FT FROM AHN TO SSI. WX CONDITIONS WERE RAIN; SOME TURB AND CLOUDS. AS I NEARED SSI; I ASKED CTR (132.50; I BELIEVE) IF SHE HAD THE WX AT SSI; AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT ON 126.75. I ASKED CTR IF SHE WAS HANDING ME OFF; AND DID NOT HEAR AN AFFIRMATIVE REPLY. SHORTLY AFTER; I TRIED TO CONTACT JACKSONVILLE ON; I BELIEVE; 132.50; AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. WITHIN A SHORT TIME; ANOTHER AIRPLANE XMITTED A MESSAGE TO ME THAT I WAS TO CONTACT ZJX ON 126.75. CTR THEN TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD VECTOR ME FOR THE VOR APCH INTO SSI. I TOLD HER THAT I UNDERSTOOD THE VOR TO BE NOTAMED OUT; AND SHE ASKED ME WHICH NDB APCH I WOULD LIKE; RWY 4 OR RWY 22. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH I SELECTED; BUT AS I RETRIEVED THE CHART; I HIT TURB AND MY ENTIRE CHART BOOK SCATTERED AND FELL TO THE FLOOR OF THE AIRPLANE. I ABANDONED THE APCH INTO SSI; CALLED A MISSED APCH; AND ASKED THAT I BE BROUGHT BACK INTO RADAR COVERAGE OF ZJX AND VECTORED TO THE ILS AT BQK. CTR WAS UNABLE TO VECTOR ME; BUT DIRECTED ME TO FLY TO JAFFE. BECAUSE MY CHARTS HAD FALLEN ON THE FLOOR OF THE AIRPLANE; I ASKED FOR HELP; REQUESTING CTR TO LET ME CLB INTO RADAR COVERAGE; AND HOLD UNTIL I COULD RETRIEVE MY CHARTS. I WAS TOLD TO FLY PRESENT HDG (N; AS I RECALL) AND CLB TO 6000 FT. I DID SO. AT A POINT IN THE PROCESS I WAS TOLD TO FLY TO JAFFE AND HOLD AT OR ABOVE 6000 FT (MY BEST RECOLLECTION IS 'AT OR ABOVE 6000 FT;' THOUGH I CAN'T NOW BE POSITIVE IT WASN'T 6000 FT). DURING THE PROCESS OF GETTING INTO AND EXECUTING THE HOLD; I INADVERTENTLY HAD AN ALT EXCURSION ABOVE AND BELOW 6000 FT. CTR DID NOT CALL ANY DEV TO MY ATTN. I WAS CLRED FOR THE ILS INTO BQK; AND SHOT THE APCH WITHOUT INCIDENT. I ATTRIBUTE THIS SERIES OF EVENTS TO LOSS OF RADIO CONTACT AND DROPPING CHARTS CREATING DISTRS; AND THEN HVY WORKLOAD IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
