AIR TAXI ENTERS TCA WITHOUT CLRNC EVEN THOUGH REQUESTED OF CTR.

Narrative

DURING MY FLT TO SLC; I DECIDED TO REQUEST FLT FOLLOWING WITH ZLC. AS WE NEARED SLC TCA; I OBTAINED THE ATIS INFO FOR SLC INTL AND ADVISED ZLC THAT I HAD THE ATIS AND WAS LNDG SALT LAKE INTL. CTR ACKNOWLEDGED AND SAID THEY WOULD TURN ME OVER TO APCH CTL SHORTLY. WHEN I WAS RIGHT AT THE BOUNDARY OF THE TCA; CTR TOLD ME TO SQUAWK 1200 AND CONTACT APCH CTL. BY THE TIME I SWITCHED FREQS AND CALLED APCH CTL (APPROX 15 SECONDS) I WAS IN THE TCA. APCH WARNED ME THAT I WAS IN THE TCA WITHOUT A CLRNC. THEY THEN VECTORED ME BACK OUT OF THE TCA AND THEN CLRED ME BACK IN. I FEEL THAT I WAS SETUP AND MISLED BY ZLC. THE REASON I CONTACTED ZLC TO START WITH WAS TO BE WITH RADAR SVC INTO SLC. TO BE TAKEN TO THE VERY EDGE OF THE TCA AND SUDDENLY DROPPED IS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I WILL ALWAYS BE ON AN IFR FLT PLAN PRIOR TO ENTERING A TCA IN THE FUTURE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND FEEL THAT RADAR SVC FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENTRAPMENT IS A DETRIMENT TO THE SAFETY OF FLT.
