GA SMT UNAUTH PENETRATION OF AIRSPACE SEA TCA.

Narrative

ON WED MAR 88 I BEGAN TAXIING. RECEIVED THE ATIS INFO AND CONTACTED GND CTL. I ASKED THEM FOR A VFR CODE 'SO YOU GUYS CAN WATCH OVER ME.' (ACTUAL QUOTE). GND SAID THAT THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME A CODE BUT TO ASK TWR FOR ONE. I ASKED TWR AND TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED A CODE AND MY INTENTIONS WERE TO CLB TO 13500' E OF THE FIELD FOR A TEST FLT. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T'T BUT TO GET DEP TO GIVE ME ONE AND THEY GAVE ME THE FREQ. TWR CLRED ME FOR TKOF AND REQUESTED THAT I FLY STRAIGHT OUT TO THE 'KING DOME' BEFORE MAKING MY R TURN. I CLBED OUT AND CALLED DEP WHO MISSED MY CALL (FIRST) AND THEY THEN TOLD ME TO 'REMAIN CLR OF THE TCA.' BY THEN I WAS AT THE 'KING DOME' AND TURNING AND CLBING. I GOT TO 4800' AND LEVELED OFF AS I HAD MISREAD THE ONLY TCA CHART I HAD IN THE ACFT (A COPY MACHINE COPY OF A COMMERCIAL TCA CHART) AND THOUGHT ANOTHER ARPT WAS BOEING FIELD. DEP THEN TOLD ME THAT I WAS 'IN THE TCA AND HAD BEEN FOR A WHILE' I QUESTIONED THIS AS I THOUGHT I WAS OUT OF THE TCA. I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO TROUBLE BUT I DID!! SO I ASKED THE CTLR FOR A PHONE NUMBER. I CALLED TRACON ON THE GND; THE SUPERVISOR SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO 'TURN THE RPT IN.' CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE: MY MISREADING OF THE COPY OF THE TCA PLATE (COPY ENCLOSED). WHEN THE CTLR SAID I WAS 'IN THE TCA;' I THOUGHT THAT THE WORSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN WAS THE 70/50 AREA. THE TWR REQUIRING ME TO CLB STRAIGHT OUT AND 'TURN AT THE KING DOME' (THIS WAS FOR TFC CONSIDERATIONS) HAD I MADE A RIGHT TURN IMMEDIATELY AFTER TKOF I WOULD HAVE BEEN CLR OF THE TCA. THE FLT WAS A TEST FLT; AND I WAS PROBABLY SOMEWHAT PREOCCUPIED WITH THE PROBLEM (PRESSURIZATION)
