A BE20 FLC FLEW THROUGH A NOTAMED TFR AT PGV.

Narrative

THE FLT WAS A SHORT VFR FLT FROM OCW (WASHINGTON; NC) TO ISO (KINSTON; NC). ENRTE; ELECTED TO FLY OVER PGV (GREENVILLE; NC) TO OBSERVE MY NORMAL HOME ARPT WHICH WAS FLOODED FROM RECENT RAINS FROM HURRICANE. I CIRCLED THE FIELD AND THEN PROCEEDED DIRECTLY TO ISO AND LANDED. AFTER LNDG AT ISO; I LEARNED FROM OTHER PLTS AND KINSTON TWR THAT A TEMPORARY FLT RESTR (TFR) HAD BEEN IMPLEMENTED FOR A 20 MI RADIUS FROM PGV UP TO 7000 FT MSL. I LATER LEARNED THAT IT HAD BEEN EFFECTIVE SINCE ABOUT XA00 HRS ON SEP/XX/99. THIS MEANT THAT I HAD UNKNOWINGLY ENTERED THE TEMPORARY FLT RESTR AREA. ALTHOUGH I HAD CHKED THE NOTAMS EARLIER BEFORE MY FLT AND THE TFR WAS NOT IN EFFECT; I DIDN'T CHK JUST BEFORE MY FLT. IT'S POSSIBLE IF I HAD CALLED THE FSS JUST BEFORE THE FLT; I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE TFR. WHEN I CALLED FSS LATER THAT DAY FROM CON (CONCORD; NH); THEY DID NOT ADVISE ME OF THE RESTR. THEREFORE; IT WAS SLOW GETTING INTO THE NOTAM SYS. REGARDLESS; I DID NOT SEE ANY OTHER ACFT OR INTERFERE WITH ANY ON-GOING OPS WHILE I WAS IN THE TFR.
