You do not need a clearance to enter class D airspace (or class C for
that matter). Only requirement is radio contact.


To enter class C airspace, the controller must call back your call
sign.


Same with Class D airspace.

As Stephen is illustrating, radio contact is not RADIO CONTACT until
it includes your call sign.

"Aircraft calling Bumpkinville, stand by..." is not radio contact.

"November-6-9-Kilo-Yankee, stand by" is RADIO CONTACT. G

Which is radio contact.

You don't have contact until both sides have acknowledged each other.

In my area there is a C right next to D airspace.

After establishing radio contact with class C approach and the D
airspace being in my flight path, do I need to talk directly with
airspace D to get cleared through it, or is that all taken care of by
the approach controller?


The radar controller is required to coordinate your transition of the Class
D airspace with the control tower, you are not expected to contact the tower
yourself.
