INSTRUCTOR RPT REGARDING STUDENT PLT WHO ENTERED CLASS B AIRSPACE WITHOUT CLRNC ON SOLO XCOUNTRY FLT.

Narrative

MY STUDENT FOUND HIMSELF LOST AND CONFUSED IN THE 'HEART' OF MIAMI'S CLASS B AIRSPACE. I REVIEWED HIS PLANNING AND WENT OVER THE POSSIBLE FREQS HE NEEDED FOR THE KNOWN FLT. I EVEN SPENT AT LEAST 15 HRS OF GND INSTRUCTION ON AIRSPACE; THE CHARTS; AND EVEN LOST PROCS. THE STUDENT PANICKED AND FORGOT ALL FREQS AND WHERE HE WAS. HE FINALLY PHONED IN AT NAPLES AND THAT WAS WHEN I LEARNED OF THE VIOLATIONS. I SPOKE WITH THE MGR AT MIAMI APCH SHORTLY AFTER OUR PHONE CALL WITH THE STUDENT. HE WAS FLYING A HDG OF 160 DEGS AT AN ALT OF 2300 FT (AFTER LEAVING THE WEST PALM BEACH CLASS C). HE CONTINUED HIS FLT S ALL THE WAY TO KEY LARGO; FL; WHERE HE FINALLY MADE RADIO COMS WITH ZMA. THEY GAVE HIM A HEADING WHICH HELPED HIM NAV TO NAPLES. THE REST OF THE TRIP WENT WELL EXCEPT FOR A BRIEF TSTM DELAY AT NAPLES. I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT WITH MY TEACHING THAN WHAT I DID WITH THIS STUDENT. THE PREVIOUS 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT; I SIGNED 3 STUDENT PLTS OFF FOR THEIR PVT PLT CHK RIDE WITH ALL PASSING ON THEIR FIRST ATTEMPT. IT'S AMAZING HOW NERVOUS STUDENTS GET FLYING INTO A CLASS C. AFTER ALL; WE DO ALL OF OUR TRAINING OUT OF SARASOTA'S CLASS C.
