TEST FLT PLT EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING CONFUSED COORD EFFORTS BTWN THE VARIOUS AIRSPACE CTLING AGENCIES.

Narrative

I WAS FLYING AN EXPERIMENTAL ACFT WITH A BEECHCRAFT STARSHIP AS A PHOTO AND SAFETY CHASE WITHIN THE R-2515 RESTR AREA. THE RACE TRACK DESIGNED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION STRADDLES BOTH THE AIRSPACE HELD BY R-2515 WHICH IS CTLED BY SPORT AND LOS ANGELES CTR AIRSPACE TO THE S OF R-2515. I WAS ON AN IFR FLT PLAN WHILE OUTSIDE OF THE R-2515 AIRSPACE ON A POINTOUT FROM SPORT WHICH CTLS THE R-2515 AIRSPACE. I AM SENDING THIS RPT TO CLR UP ANY MISUNDERSTANDING SURROUNDING THIS FLT. DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE MISSION AND THE NUMBER OF ENTITIES (COMMERCIAL AND GOV) INVOLVED; WE SPENT QUITE SOME EFFORT GETTING EVERYONE BRIEFED ABOUT THE TEST ACTIVITY AND OUR SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS. IT WAS NOT ENOUGH. DESPITE OUR EFFORTS AND THE FACT THAT THIS WAS THE 6TH TIME WE CONDUCTED THIS MISSION; THERE WAS STILL A COMS BREAKDOWN. IN THE FUTURE; WE WILL FOCUS ADDITIONAL EFFORTS AT GETTING ALL THE INVOLVED PARTIES INTO 1 ROOM FOR A DETAILED; FACE-TO-FACE MISSION BRIEFING. WE CAN ALL BE REMINDED THAT JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE 6TH TIME; IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S BECOMING ROUTINE. FLT TEST IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.
