ercoupe-flyinDear Anonymous, Please read the following article:
http://www.flyingmag.com/article.asp?section_id=12&article_id=530&print_page=y I suggest the pilot fill out the ASRS report immediately. It is the "get-out-of-jail" card from the FAA. You cannot get in trouble for filling it out and it may get you off the hook if they do decide to write up this infraction. Additionally, 200 feet is a relatively small error. I believe the allowable margin of error for encoders is 300 feet, at which point they will ask you to turn off your mode C. So, between the margin of error and the ASRS report, the pilot should feel reasonable safe he/she is not going to get in trouble. Send in the ASRS report today!

Hypothetical situation Posted by: "Larry Snyder" [email protected] lesnydmo Sun Aug 9, 2009 6:07 am (PDT) Maybe those with some experience have some thoughts... Let's say, hypothetically, someone departing an airport under a class B ring inadvertently climbed a bit too high - say 200 feet too high, squawking VFR. In this person's ignorance he calls departure to get flight following, and while departure gets the code he realizes where he is and dives back down. When the code is assigned and set in the transponder, he is back where he belongs. Departure seems OK, and he happily flies home. Does anyone know what happens someone accidentally enters class B for a minute or two then immediately corrects? This hypothetical situation occurred right near the edge of class B and only 200 feet into it for about one minute, perhaps two. Just wondering...
