Narrative:

Departing jabbar airport, I contacted ict departure passing through 1000' AGL (2400' MSL). My plane is an small transport and was climbing at 1400 FPM. While contacting departure I turned from 180 degrees (runway heading) to 270 degrees (on course) noting there was a large airport (mcconnell AFB) directly ahead. By the time ATC contacted me I was climbing through 2700' MSL. Approach asked if I was familiar with the departure procedures at jabbar. I replied 'negative'. No one at jabbar had mentioned special procedures. There were none posted in the flight planning room. There were no signs at the departure end of runway 18. I feel there could have been a conflict, due to the proximity of beech and mcconnell airports. Fortunately there was no traffic and the visibility was outstanding. This was my first landing at jabbar in almost thirty yrs of flying.

Title: SMT PLT MAKES THE WRONG TURN ON A VFR DEP AND MAKES AN UNAUTH PENETRATION OF TWO ATA'S AND ONE ARSA.

Narrative: DEPARTING JABBAR ARPT, I CONTACTED ICT DEP PASSING THROUGH 1000' AGL (2400' MSL). MY PLANE IS AN SMT AND WAS CLBING AT 1400 FPM. WHILE CONTACTING DEP I TURNED FROM 180 DEGS (RWY HDG) TO 270 DEGS (ON COURSE) NOTING THERE WAS A LARGE ARPT (MCCONNELL AFB) DIRECTLY AHEAD. BY THE TIME ATC CONTACTED ME I WAS CLBING THROUGH 2700' MSL. APCH ASKED IF I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE DEP PROCS AT JABBAR. I REPLIED 'NEGATIVE'. NO ONE AT JABBAR HAD MENTIONED SPECIAL PROCS. THERE WERE NONE POSTED IN THE FLT PLANNING ROOM. THERE WERE NO SIGNS AT THE DEP END OF RWY 18. I FEEL THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A CONFLICT, DUE TO THE PROX OF BEECH AND MCCONNELL ARPTS. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TFC AND THE VISIBILITY WAS OUTSTANDING. THIS WAS MY FIRST LNDG AT JABBAR IN ALMOST THIRTY YRS OF FLYING.
