ACFT FLIES TO EDGE OF CLASS B AIRSPACE AND HAS A NEAR MISS WITH DEPARTING ACR FLT.

Narrative

DURING CONDUCT OF A COMMERCIAL FLT TEST I WAS ADMINISTERING; THE PLT DEPARTED MYF AND FLEW TO THE BORDER OF THE CLASS B AIRSPACE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF RECEIVING A CLRNC OR CHANGING COURSE. AT THAT POINT THE FLT TEST WAS DISCONTINUED AND I ISSUED THE APPLICANT A NOTICE OF DISAPPROVAL. AT THE POINT WHERE WE WERE ABOUT TO ENTER CLASS B AIRSPACE; I NOTICED A COMMERCIAL JET PASS TO OUR L; OVERHEAD AT APPROX 600 FT AND 100 FT LATERALLY. WE DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION NOR DID THE XX JET. AFTER LNDG I ASKED THE APPLICANT IF HE HAD A PLAN TO NAV TO THE PRACTICE AREA WHERE WE PLANNED TO DO THE NECESSARY MANEUVERS FOR THE FLT TEST. HE SAID THAT HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH VFR CLASS B OPS AND THAT ALL HIS TRAINING HAD BEEN EITHER IFR OR HIS INSTRUCTOR TOOK CARE OF OBTAINING CLRNCS OR NAVING TO REMAIN CLR OF TCA'S CLASS B'S; ETC. THIS PLT WAS A MIL AIRMEN WHO WAS OBTAINING CIVILIAN RATINGS. AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH HIM ON THE GND IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE MIL PUTS FAR MORE EMPHASIS ON IFR OPS THAN VFR CLASS B OPS. AFTER THIS PLT RECEIVED ADDITIONAL GND AND FLT INSTRUCTION; HIS KNOWLEDGE AND PERFORMANCE WAS BROUGHT UP TO COMMERCIAL PLT LEVELS. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH THE RECOMMENDING INSTRUCTOR AND WE BOTH AGREE THAT ADDITIONAL TIME MIGHT BE NECESSARY FOR EMPHASIS ON AIRSPACE BOUNDARIES AND PROCS.
