ALLEGED OR IMPLIED PLT PENETRATED TCA.

Narrative

I RECEIVED A CLRNC FROM SARASOTA CLRNC AS FOLLOWS: FLY HDG 090. REMAIN VFR AT OR BELOW 1600. DEP FREQ 119.65. SQUAWK XXXX. I DEPARTED RWY 14. I FLEW RWY HDG TO APPROX 500 FT AND TURNED TO 090 AND CONTINUED CLBING. I WAS TOLD TO SWITCH FROM SARASOTA (120.1) TO TAMPA APCH (119.65). AFTER CHANGING FREQ I WAITED FOR ANOTHER ACFT'S XMISSION TO END AND TAMPA ASKED IF I WAS ON FREQ. HE THEN ASKED WHAT MY LAST ALT AND HDG ASSIGNED WERE. AND I TOLD HIM. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE I MAINTAINED EACH ASSIGNED ALT. IT IS HARD TO RECALL BECAUSE THIS PORTION OF THE FLT STANDS OUT IN MY MIND NO MORE THAN ANY OTHER PORTION. IT WAS A 4.8 HR FLT. EACH CTLR WAS COURTEOUS; AND AT NO TIME WAS I INFORMED THAT I HAD VIOLATED OR WAS ON THE WRONG ALT. I DO RECALL BEING SW OF MY ON COURSE CHKPOINT (A SMALL RECTANGULAR LAKE AND 2 STACKS). I WAS ON TAMPA APCH FREQ (119.54) AT THIS TIME AND THE CTLR TOLD ME TO 'RESUME OWN NAV.' I TURNED L TO OBTAIN THE SRQ 042 RADIAL. AT BOUT THIS POINT A CTLR ASKED ME TO CLB VFR TO 2500. I CLBED AND RPTED THAT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN VFR AT 2500 (DUE TO THE SCATTERED CLOUDS). AT SOME POINT NEAR LAKELAND I WAS IN CONTACT WITH TAMPA APCH. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT I DID NOT FLY TO THE L (W) OF MY COURSE DURING THAT PORTION OF THE FLT. I ALSO DID NOT GO ABOVE 2500. THE FLOOR OF THE TCA IN THAT AREA IS BTWN 3000-6000. ALSO; THE EVENING OF THE FLT MY FLT INSTRUCTOR PLACED A TELEPHONE CALL TO A MR X; SUPVR AT TAMPA APCH. MR X ADVISED US THAT NO PAPERWORK WAS IN PROCESS AND NO CTLR HAD KNOWLEDGE OF A VIOLATION BY ME. HE STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN NOTIFIED AT THE TIME OF ANY VIOLATION.
