A CFI RPTS HIS STUDENT OVERFLEW A RESTRICTED AREA AFTER THE FSS BRIEFER FAILED TO INDICATE IT WAS ACTIVE. FSS BRIEFING ERRORS ARE INCREASING.

Narrative

UNINTENTIONAL FLT THROUGH A RESTR AREA IN COLUMBUS; GA. WHILE CONDUCTING XCOUNTRY FLT TRAINING; THE STUDENT PLT UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A FLT INSTRUCTOR; PENETRATED THE RESTR AREA (3002 D; E; F) NEAR COLUMBUS; GA. RELATED FACTORS: 1) BRIEFER FAILED TO INFORM THE PLT OF ACTIVE RESTR AREAS; FSS DID LET THE PLT KNOW OF ACTIVE TFR'S; BUT DID NOT INFORM THE PLT OF RESTR AIRSPACE. 2) BRIEFER WAS OUT OF CHICAGO; IL; THEREFORE; WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE RTE AND THE SPECIAL AIRSPACE IN THE LINE OF FLT. IN PAST LCL FLT SVC STATIONS WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH AREA FLT RTES MAKING PLTS AWARE OF FLT RESTRS. 3) FAILURE OF THE PLTS TO ASSUME THAT THE AREA WAS COLD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BRIEFER'S BRIEF LED THE PLTS TO BELIEVE FLT THROUGH THE AREA WAS SAFE. PROBS OF THESE KINDS HAVE INCREASED OVER THE LAST FEW YRS AFTER THE FSS PRIVATIZED THEIR OPS. DISCREPANCIES OF THIS TYPE ARE ON THE INCREASE AS FSS CLOSE AND SVC IS BECOMING PVT. LOSS OF FLT PLANS AND MISINFO OR LACK OF INFO BEING PRACTICED IN THE GA INDUSTRY IS TURNING A ONCE SAFE ENVIRONMENT DANGEROUS. 4) LACK OF THE CFI TO MAINTAIN FULL AWARENESS OF THE RTE OF FLT AND POS ALONG THE FLT.
