PLT OF A BE35 FLEW THROUGH THE LAX VFR CORRIDOR WITH AN OUTDATED CHART. CTLR PROVIDED VECTORS.

Narrative

DEPARTED L18 ON A PLEASURE FLT TO SBA. I FLT PLANNED THE FLT USING THE DUATS SYS AND CHKED WX; NOTAMS; AND TFR'S FOR THE RTE. I PLANNED TO TRANSIT THE LAX TCA THROUGH ONE OF THE VFR CORRIDORS LISTED ON THE LAX TCA CHART UTILIZING VOR NAV. I WAS NAVING TOWARDS LAX UTILIZING THE LAX TCA CHART AND INFORMED THE CTLR I WAS REQUESTING THE 'SHORELINE' TRANSITION. I WAS CLRED INTO CLASS B AIRSPACE BY A SUBSEQUENT CTLR AND WAS ISSUED A CLB CLRNC TO 6500 FT MSL FOR THE XING. I FOUND IT DISTRACTING TO KEEP FLIPPING THE TCA CHART OVER AND BACK AND FOLDING IT TO FIT ON MY LAP TO VIEW BOTH SIDES. I ASKED MY PAX TO HAND ME MY COPY OF A PUB WHICH I KNEW CONTAINED AN LAX CLASS B FOLDOUT AND CORRIDOR INFO. I HAD PURCHASED THIS PUB ABOUT 2 YRS AGO AND USED IT INFREQUENTLY. BECAUSE I WAS UNSURE OF ITS CURRENCY; I ORDERED A COMPLETE NEW ONE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. UNFORTUNATELY; AS I WAS GATHERING MY CHARTS PRIOR TO LEAVING MY HOME FOR THE ARPT; THE OLD NON-CURRENT COPY OF THE PUB WAS INADVERTENTLY PLACED INTO MY FLT BAG. APCHING THE LAX VOR; I LOOKED DOWN AT THE PUB'S LAX TCA 'SHORELINE' TRANSITION AND STARTED TO FOLLOW THE DEPICTED 'SHORELINE' TRANSITION. THE PROC HAD CHANGED FROM PARALLELING THE LAX SHORELINE .5 NM TO 1.0 NM OFF SHORE; TO DIRECTLY OVERFLYING THE LAX VOR. UNFORTUNATELY; I WAS FOLLOWING THE NON-CURRENT PROC UNTIL THE CTLR INFORMED ME I WAS IN A POSSIBLE 'PLTDEV' SITUATION. HE THEN ISSUED ME A HDG AND TOLD ME TO COPY A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL HIS SUPVR. I EXITED CLASS B AIRSPACE AND CONTINUED TO SBA WHEREUPON I PHONED THE CTL FACILITY AND SPOKE WITH AN ATC SUPVR ABOUT THE INCIDENT. TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE; I AM DESTROYING ALL OUT-DATED CHARTS AS THEY BECOME OBSOLETE.
