Proper phrasology for airspace violation:

N123 posible aircraft deviation suggest you call XYZ Tower/Aproach/etc
at xxx-xxx-xxxx

if your talking to the tower and didnt here this you arent going to
get busted. If controller 'A' is controlling you and they advice you
to follow another aircraft visual speration has been applied.


That's true where separation is being provided, but no separation is
provided for VFR aircraft in Class D airspace.



Controller A is responsible for ensuring aircraft under his control do
not violate an adjacent controllers/facilities airspace. ie. ABC
approach, XYZ tower "pont out' (on the land lines), xx miles east N123
landing XYZ. If your aircraft went into that airspace and the
controller busted you, he would get a 'deal' as well. Which no
controller wants.


A "point out" is a radar function, used to transfer the radar identification
of an aircraft to another radar controller if the aircraft will or may enter
the airspace of another controller and radio communications will not be
transferred.
