Narrative:

I was PNF first officer on part 91 business flight. After takeoff from 2w6, we requested and received VFR advisories from pxt TRACON. During climb checklist, the PF gradually intruded into nhk class D airspace. Approximately 1 NM inside, we initiated a turn to clear, after query by the controller. We cleared the airspace within the next 30 seconds. I don't believe there was any conflict with other traffic. No further comment was received by ATC. The flight proceeded with advisories without incident. The distance from the 2w6 runway departure end and the edge of class D special use airspace is approximately 1 NM. Aggressive turn-out from runway 11 is required in high performance aircraft. High traffic density, mixed civilian and military traffic, unique aircraft under test, and close proximity of the washington ADIZ make this airspace somewhat dangerous. Current ATC staffing is inadequate at times.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: BE-10 CREW ENTERED NHK CLASS D AIRSPACE WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: I WAS PNF FO ON PART 91 BUSINESS FLT. AFTER TKOF FROM 2W6, WE REQUESTED AND RECEIVED VFR ADVISORIES FROM PXT TRACON. DURING CLB CHKLIST, THE PF GRADUALLY INTRUDED INTO NHK CLASS D AIRSPACE. APPROX 1 NM INSIDE, WE INITIATED A TURN TO CLR, AFTER QUERY BY THE CTLR. WE CLRED THE AIRSPACE WITHIN THE NEXT 30 SECONDS. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WAS ANY CONFLICT WITH OTHER TFC. NO FURTHER COMMENT WAS RECEIVED BY ATC. THE FLT PROCEEDED WITH ADVISORIES WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DISTANCE FROM THE 2W6 RWY DEP END AND THE EDGE OF CLASS D SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE IS APPROX 1 NM. AGGRESSIVE TURN-OUT FROM RWY 11 IS REQUIRED IN HIGH PERFORMANCE ACFT. HIGH TFC DENSITY, MIXED CIVILIAN AND MIL TFC, UNIQUE ACFT UNDER TEST, AND CLOSE PROX OF THE WASHINGTON ADIZ MAKE THIS AIRSPACE SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS. CURRENT ATC STAFFING IS INADEQUATE AT TIMES.
