AN FAA SAFETY PROGRAM MGR FLIES INTO THE CLASS B AIRSPACE WHEN HIS ACFT OVERSHOOTS THE PLANNED LEVELOFF ALT 8 MI N OF CLE; OH.

Narrative

I TOOK OFF UNDER VFR FROM BURKE LAKEFRONT ARPT; RWY 24L. TWR CLRED ME FOR A R TURNOUT AFTER TKOF BECAUSE I ADVISED I WAS VFR WBOUND. THE FLOOR OF THE CLE CLASS B AIRSPACE IN THAT AREA IS 1900 FT MSL AND I INTENDED TO LEVEL OFF AT 1800 FT. USING A HAND-HELD VFR GPS (GARMIN); I PLANNED TO FLY AROUND THE INNER CORE UNTIL I WAS SW OF CLE AND COULD PROCEED DIRECT TO LUK ARPT. AS RPTED AND FORECASTED; THERE WAS TURB AT THE LOW ALTS AND I DISCOVERED I HAD CLBED ABOVE THE 1900 FT FLOOR AND WAS AT 2100 FT MSL. I BELIEVE IT WAS FOR A VERY BRIEF PERIOD -- PROBABLY CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 1 MIN -- AND I IMMEDIATELY DSNDED BACK TO 1800 FT. I THINK THE FOLLOWING CONTRIBUTED TO THIS EVENT: 1) FATIGUE -- I HAD BEEN IN CONFERENCES FOR 3 DAYS AND HAD SLEPT POORLY FOR SEVERAL NIGHTS. 2) INSUFFICIENT ATTN -- SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IN A CRITICAL PHASE OF FLT. 3) COMPLEXITY OF THE AIRSPACE SYS. 4) TURBULENT WX AND THERMAL ACTIVITY. 5) LACK OF EFFECTIVE TRIM (PITCH TRIM) TECHNIQUE. I DID NOT INSURE THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS PROPERLY TRIMMED FOR LEVEL FLT. 6) BEING IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY IN THE BEFORE TKOF CHK. I SHOULD HAVE 'REBRIEFED' MYSELF ON CLB AND HDG RESTRS OR SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED CLE DEP CTL FOR A CLRNC THROUGH THE AIRSPACE. AS AN FAA SAFETY PROGRAM MGR; I HAVE TAUGHT AND COUNSELED PLTS ON USE OF AND RESPECT FOR THE AIRSPACE. I'M DISMAYED AND EMBARRASSED THAT 'IT HAPPENED' TO ME. MAYBE I'LL BE MORE EFFECTIVE!
