Pilot narrative
Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ,
X, Y.
On Day 0, at approximately XA:00, I was flying my airplane at 100-500 feet AGL around the area east of Fallon Municipal Airport, FLX. I experienced a problem with my moving map, where it seemed to lose its ability to show my exact location on the map. While I was troubleshooting this problem, I may have inadvertently flown into restricted area R- 4813A. I immediately turned away from the restricted airspace, and returned to my departure airport.
