C182 PLT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER CLT CLASS B AIRSPACE.

Narrative

I WAS ON AN IFR FLT PLAN FROM AKR TO CAE. I WAS CLRED AS FILED (IE; DIRECT) TO CAE. THE WINDS ALOFT WERE STRONGER THAN FORECAST AND AMOUNTED TO A LOSS OF GND SPD OF 40+ KTS VERSUS NORMAL FLT PLANNED SPD. AS A RESULT; FUEL RESERVES WERE DIMINISHED AND PROJECTED FUEL TO DEST WAS GOING TO BE CLOSE TO MAX RANGE. ZTL 'AT THE REQUEST OF CLT APCH' REQUIRED A DEV AROUND THE ENTIRE CLT CLASS B AIRSPACE DESPITE THE FACT RPTR WAS ON AN IFR PLAN. THE DEV ADDED SUCH ADDITIONAL TIME AND DISTANCE TO THE DEST ARPT THAT PLT DETERMINED HE MUST LAND AT NEAREST ARPT DUE TO LACK OF SUFFICIENT FUEL RESERVES. PLT LANDED AT EHO AND HAD ONLY 14 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINING. THE CLT DEV ADDED SOME 20+ MINS TO THE PLANNED RTE TO CAE. THE RPTR; UPON REVIEW WITH OTHERS; HAS DISCOVERED THAT IT IS A ROUTINE OCCURRENCE FOR CLT APCH TO DENY THROUGH-FLTS TO IFR ACFT; NOT ONLY IN THEIR DEFINED CLASS B; BUT REQUIRING CIRCUITOUS RTES TAKING ACFT NEARLY 50 NM W OF CLT. THIS CREATES ADDITIONAL BURDENS ON PLTS IN TERMS OF FLT TIME; FUEL BURN AND POSSIBLE DEVS TO ARPTS WITH INFERIOR FACILITIES OR NO INST APCHS. IN LESSER WX CONDITIONS; I MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE SAME AVAILABLE OPTIONS AND MY SAFETY WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED SEVERELY. CLT APCH NEEDS TO AMEND THEIR STANDARD PROCS OF DENYING THROUGH-FLTS OF THEIR CLASS B AIRSPACE FOR IFR ACFT. THE CURRENT PRACTICE DENIES EQUAL ACCESS TO ALL PLTS AND PRESENTS HAZARDS TO THE SAFETY OF PLTS.
