Narrative:

I asked spg ground control at 121.8 for a VFR clearance at 2500 ft direct to zph. Ground control gave me taxi clearance to runway 24 and tower 127.4. Spg tower cleared me for takeoff towards the northeast left turn at 1500 ft. Tower gave me tampa approach at 119.90 direct. After contact with tampa approach, ATC told me something and asked me to contact tampa tower. After I contacted tampa tower the controller asked me if I had a class B clearance. Because I expected a clearance by ATC I had none at the moment. My answer was negative sir. The controller asked me to stand by. After plus or minus 30 seconds the controller asked me if I had a clearance and told me that I was already in class B. The controller told me to stand by, then came the controller back, asked my full registration and the base I was stationed. Then he gave me a squawk code and directed me towards zph. The event started at the southeast border of tampa airspace, approximately 25 NM southeast of pie VOR on radial 065 degrees. My heading was 060 degrees, altitude 1500 ft for 2500 ft, airspeed 100. After the event I had a debriefing about what I could do to overcome a next mistake. I expected that my request of 2500 ft direct zph to spg ground would handed over by tower to tampa ATC, otherwise I requested a lower altitude.

Title: PLT OF AN SMA SEL ENTERED CLASS B AIRSPACE WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: I ASKED SPG GND CTL AT 121.8 FOR A VFR CLRNC AT 2500 FT DIRECT TO ZPH. GND CTL GAVE ME TAXI CLRNC TO RWY 24 AND TWR 127.4. SPG TWR CLRED ME FOR TKOF TOWARDS THE NE L TURN AT 1500 FT. TWR GAVE ME TAMPA APCH AT 119.90 DIRECT. AFTER CONTACT WITH TAMPA APCH, ATC TOLD ME SOMETHING AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT TAMPA TWR. AFTER I CONTACTED TAMPA TWR THE CTLR ASKED ME IF I HAD A CLASS B CLRNC. BECAUSE I EXPECTED A CLRNC BY ATC I HAD NONE AT THE MOMENT. MY ANSWER WAS NEGATIVE SIR. THE CTLR ASKED ME TO STAND BY. AFTER PLUS OR MINUS 30 SECONDS THE CTLR ASKED ME IF I HAD A CLRNC AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS ALREADY IN CLASS B. THE CTLR TOLD ME TO STAND BY, THEN CAME THE CTLR BACK, ASKED MY FULL REGISTRATION AND THE BASE I WAS STATIONED. THEN HE GAVE ME A SQUAWK CODE AND DIRECTED ME TOWARDS ZPH. THE EVENT STARTED AT THE SE BORDER OF TAMPA AIRSPACE, APPROX 25 NM SE OF PIE VOR ON RADIAL 065 DEGS. MY HDG WAS 060 DEGS, ALT 1500 FT FOR 2500 FT, AIRSPD 100. AFTER THE EVENT I HAD A DEBRIEFING ABOUT WHAT I COULD DO TO OVERCOME A NEXT MISTAKE. I EXPECTED THAT MY REQUEST OF 2500 FT DIRECT ZPH TO SPG GND WOULD HANDED OVER BY TWR TO TAMPA ATC, OTHERWISE I REQUESTED A LOWER ALT.
