Narrative:

Immediately after liftoff kwk tower instructed us to turn right (wbound) and proceed 'on course, contact cvg approach control.' immediately contacted cvg approach to be told that we were entering the class B airspace without prior clearance. This is the sort of clearance confusion that causes accidents in airspace transition areas. When one ATC facility issues instructions to an aircraft, it should be assumed that those instructions have been coordinated and approved by the next ATC facility, especially in very close airspace transition areas! You can't wander all over the area awaiting approval at 140 KTS, and you obviously can't stop. It is assumed that whenever cleared you will have sufficient time to clean up the aircraft and contact departure without becoming an unwanted imposition on your next ATC sector. Please work to improve this type of VFR handoff/coordination.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: VFR PA31 DEP FROM LUK ENTERED CLASS B WITHOUT ATC APPROVAL.

Narrative: IMMEDIATELY AFTER LIFTOFF KWK TWR INSTRUCTED US TO TURN R (WBOUND) AND PROCEED 'ON COURSE, CONTACT CVG APCH CTL.' IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED CVG APCH TO BE TOLD THAT WE WERE ENTERING THE CLASS B AIRSPACE WITHOUT PRIOR CLRNC. THIS IS THE SORT OF CLRNC CONFUSION THAT CAUSES ACCIDENTS IN AIRSPACE TRANSITION AREAS. WHEN ONE ATC FACILITY ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS TO AN ACFT, IT SHOULD BE ASSUMED THAT THOSE INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN COORDINATED AND APPROVED BY THE NEXT ATC FACILITY, ESPECIALLY IN VERY CLOSE AIRSPACE TRANSITION AREAS! YOU CAN'T WANDER ALL OVER THE AREA AWAITING APPROVAL AT 140 KTS, AND YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T STOP. IT IS ASSUMED THAT WHENEVER CLRED YOU WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO CLEAN UP THE ACFT AND CONTACT DEP WITHOUT BECOMING AN UNWANTED IMPOSITION ON YOUR NEXT ATC SECTOR. PLEASE WORK TO IMPROVE THIS TYPE OF VFR HDOF/COORD.
