SMA PLT USING CHART NOT INDICATING TCA CEILING CHANGE PENETRATED TCA.

Narrative

I DEPARTED PSP FOR A RETURN FLT TO TOA. WX AT PALM SPRINGS WAS VFR WITH 20000 THIN BKN. ACTIVATED MODE C XPONDER. DEPARTED HDG 280 DEG CLBING TO 8500' PER PSP DEP. CLRED TOPS OF OVC AT 5500' NR BANNING. AFTER PSP DEP TERMINATED RADAR SVC AND APPROX 5 NM W OF BANNING; I CONTACTED HAWTHORNE FLT WATCH FOR CURRENT LA BASIN AND TOA WX . HAWTHORNE ADVISED VFR NOT RECOMMENDED. BASIN BKN TO OVC WITH SOME HOLES; TOPS TO 6500'; TOA VFR AT 1600' BKN/4000 BKN. FROM MY POS I OBSERVED TOPS NOT HIGHER THAN 5500' ACROSS THE BASIN WITH NUMEROUS HOLES; VISIBILITY ON TOP OF 50 PLUS MI. GAVE PIREP. I SET A COURSE FOR TOA: BANNING TO PDZ VOR AT 258 DEG; PDZ TO SLI VOR AT 238 DEG (V8-21); CONTINUE TO SHORELINE BEFORE TURNING W TO TOA. USING THE 15TH EDITION OF THE LA TCA CHART AND THE 41ST EDITION OF THE LA SECTIONAL FOR NAV; I DETERMINED TO REMAIN AT 8500' OVERFLYING THE 7000' CEILING OF THE TCA LISTED ON THE CHARTS AT SLI. BECAUSE OF THE EXTREMELY CLR CONDITIONS ON TOP; I DID NOT CONTACT COAST APCH CTL FOR VFR FLT FOLLOWING ACROSS THE BASIN; AS IS MY USUAL PRACTICE ON BUSY OR HAZY DAYS. I WAS AWARE THAT THE OVC ENDED NEAR THE SHORELINE. WHILE IT WAS NORMALLY MY PRACTICE TO DSND BELOW THE TCA AT 4500' ALONG THIS RTE; THE CONDITIONS ON THIS DAY CAUSED ME TO SELECT THE HIGHER ALT. REFERRING TO THE CHARTS IN FLT; I FORGOT COMPLETELY ABOUT THE RECENT NEW TCA CEILINGS OF 12500'; NEITHER MY FBO NOR SPORTY'S PLT SHOP (FROM WHICH I RECEIVE MY CHARTS BY SUBSCRIPTION) HAD ANY UPDATED CHARTS AVAILABLE. APCHING THE TCA NEAR SLI (I ESTIMATE GARDEN GROVE); I OBSERVED 2 AIRLINERS APPROX 7-8 NM SE PLUS 2000 BELOW MY POS. ONE I DETERMINED IMMEDIATELY TO BE NO FACTOR. THE OTHER APPEARED HDG E-W ACROSS MY PATH AND DSNDING; AS THOUGH ON APCH TO LGB. WHEN THIS PLANE TURNED TOWARD MY POS I IMMEDIATELY INITIATED A R 360 DEG TURN FOR AVOIDANCE; EVEN THOUGH I ESTIMATED VERT CLRNC OF 20000' AND HORIZ DEP OF 4-5 MI. WHILE STILL IN MY TURN I OBSERVED THAT THE AIRLINER HAD ALTERED HIS COURSE WELL TO THE NW AND WOULD PASS CLR OF MY POS. I COMPLETED MY TURN AND ROLLED OUT ON A HDG FOR THE SHORELINE; BEGINNING VFR DSCNT BELOW 8500'; WITH MY NEEDLE FOR THE 238 DEG R AT SLI DEFLECTED TO THE R. I INTERSECTED THE SHORELINE WITH MEADOWLARK ARPT OFF MY R WING. I DID NOT DISCOVER THAT I MIGHT HAVE VIOLATED THE TCA UNTIL; ON LNDG AT TOA; I WAS ASKED BY GND CTL TO CONTACT LA TRACON.
