The FAA tells pilots that class B clearances are never implied. However
many pilots have gotten off during the investigation because the
controller vectored them into the class B. But it would sure be a pain
in the ass to be right in this situation.

Almost had this just the other day. Asked for a practice ILS-34 into HPN,
VFR, to a full stop. Controller said he had several IFR flights he needed
to work in before us and gave us delaying vectors. A few minutes later,
we're looking at the east wall of the inner ring of the NY Class B, so I
got on the radio and said, "We're going to need a clearance on this heading
in minute", which got us a vector in the other direction. Kind of a pity,
really; I don't think I've ever flow right over my house before, and I
missed the chance.

The GPS really lets you get lazy. It's got all the CBAS boundaries, so I
knew exactly where we were, but it doesn't have the floor altitudes. I
know the floor of the outer ring is 3000, but I sure don't have memorized
the floors of all the inner segments. I had to go scrambling for a
sectional to figure out if we were good or not.
