THE RPTR FLEW INTO THE CLASS B AIRSPACE WITHOUT A CLRNC.

Narrative

FEB/XX/95 ABOUT XA30 LCL TIME I CALLED THE GILLESPIE FIELD TWR AT SAN DIEGO TO GET INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET A CLRNC FOR A IFR FLT TO BURBANK; CA; ARPT. THEY HAD TOLD ME ON MY ARR THAT AFTERNOON THAT THEY CLOSED AT XA00 LCL TIME. I WAS PLANNING ON DEPARTING BTWN XA30 AND XB00 XA. I TALKED TO THE TWR ABOUT THE RTING TO FILE FOR BUR AND HOW TO GET MY CLRNC. I WAS TOLD TO FILE DIRECT TO 'OCN VOR -- V23 TO LAX VOR -- THE 316 DEG RADIAL OF LAX VOR TO SILEX INTXN -- DIRECT BUR'. TO RECEIVE MY CLRNC; I WAS TO CONTACT SAN DIEGO APCH ON 124.35 ON THE GND IF POSSIBLE. IF NOT; CONTACT THEM AFTER TKOF AND STAY AT OR BELOW 5000 FT. I FILED WITH FAA AND TRIED TO GET MY CLRNC ON THE GND BUT COULD NOT. I CONTACTED APCH FOR MY CLRNC IMMEDIATELY AFTER TKOF AND TURNED R FOR OCN VOR. APCH ACKNOWLEDGED. THEY WERE BUSY AND FINALLY CAME BACK SAYING I HAD INVADED CLASS B AIRSPACE WITHOUT A CLRNC. HE THEN GAVE ME MY CLRNC AND I PROCEEDED TO BUR. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME OUT OF GILLESPIE FIELD AND I DID AS THE TWR TOLD ME TO DO IT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE TYPE ACFT WAS AN AEROSTAR. HE REITERATED THAT HE HAD FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED VIA TELEPHONE FROM THE GILLESPIE TWR ABOUT 1/2 HR BEFORE THE TWR CLOSED. THOUGH THE WX WAS RPTED TO HAVE 15 MI VISIBILITY AT AND E OF GILLESPIE IT WAS QUITE HAZY TO THE W THAT NIGHT; THE INSTRUCTION TO REMAIN AT OR BELOW 5000 FT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A CLASS B AIRSPACE RESTR BUT RATHER WAS FOR THE PRACTICAL PURPOSE OF REMAINING BELOW THE LINDBERGH AIRLINERS WHOSE ARR PATH BRINGS THEM OVER GILLESPIE AT 6000 FT. HE HAD FILED HIS FLT PLAN WITH FAA OVER THE TELEPHONE. HE TRIED TO GET THE CLRNC ON THE GND BUT COULD NOT. THE IDEA OF CALLING AND ARRANGING FOR A RELEASE TIME DID NOT OCCUR TO HIM; AFTER HE FOUND HE COULD NOT GET HIS CLRNC THROUGH THE AIRPLANE RADIO ON THE GND AS THE TWR HAD SUGGESTED HE PROBABLY COULD NOT: ANOTHER WAY; WAS TO PICK THE CLRNC UP AFTER AIRBORNE. THE REASON FOR THE R TURN OFF OF RWY 27R IS THERE IS A LARGE HILL TO AVOID WITH A L TURN AND THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS ON A HAZY NIGHT FOR A 1 PLT OPERATED AEROSTAR.
