"Fly Baby, you violated Class B Airspace"

otherwise, it didn't exist, IMHO.

In this neck o' the woods, if someone violates Class B airspace and ATC
knows who it is, they don't reprimand on the radio, they give a phone
number to call when you're on the ground. It isn't up to you to decide
what to do if you've gone into Class B airspace without the clearance.

Same in my neck.

The ol' "Call this number when you land" at towered fields, or there's
a line person waiting or on the CTAF with the message on non-towered
fields. No actual reprimand happens on the radio.

I busted a VIP TFR 1.5 years ago. Learned some things for the futu

- If ATC or anyone else asks you to "call this number" you're under no
obligation to do so. It might be a good thing to do, or not. But you
are not required to do so. In my case I did call back which was not a
good thing.

- If you do speak to a federal person don't make false statements. You
can not answer questions but don't make false answers. In my case I
told them everything, which was not a good thing.

- ASRS ("get out of jail free")? Can be meaningless. I filed and it
didn't do squat for me, not even the extra time they added on besides
the TFR violation, for failing to get a briefing.

- If you're a professional pilot you simply must have an attorney before
talking to the feds. If you violate a FAR your best course of action
may not at all be obvious.
