Flying something slow is not the issue. I say use the Class Bs when
they are the right thing to do. It's a privelege as sweet as any in
this country.

But keeping up with ATC is the key. If your radio work is good and your
flying precise and reliable - no problems. If you can't, speed won't
save you.

Some controllers on a good day will make it all work for you despite
yourself. But no one should put themselves in a position to have to
depend on that.

Here in southern CT I've heard some exchanges with NY Approach (don't
recall if the acft in question was trying to get into JFK or LGA) that
just had me shaking my head. Personally I'd never fly into a Class B
airport in something slow, but I know guys that have with varying
degress of success (measured by the controller's level of
exasperation). The airspace just south of here is too damn busy to
accommodate newbies or most weekend flyers safely.
