Narrative:

Upon requesting clearance for departure I received a clearance 'cleared for southwest towards solberg.' the problem started at this point. Clearance delivery was not clear over the radio. They simply handed me off to ground again. Our departure was delayed further because of a bad magneto. The magnetic was later determined to be alright. I was performing the radio operations while my student (a private pilot working on instrument and complex) was flying. On takeoff roll teterboro tower gave us some instructions which were unreadable due to the increased noise of the engine and the voice sounded garbled. I promptly asked the tower to 'say again' and I heard what I believe was a clearance for a left turn out (we departed runway 01). The turbulence in the area was also quite bad with the wind being out of the north. (Reports of 35-40 KTS aloft with +/- 10 KTS wind shear on final approach.) the plane was being bounced around hard enough that the autoplt literally fell out of the panel and hit the floor. Upon reaching a safe altitude, we turned left to an approximately heading of 240 degrees, a course which would line us up with the solberg VOR. We were still in contact with the tower at this time. With the strong wind and an inexperienced training instrument pilot flying, it is easy to see that we got blown south towards ewr's airspace. The tower did tell us to turn to a heading of 300 degrees, but I never understood them to say that we were entering the TCA. At one point, I looked towards ewr and saw that we were close but we were still in contact with the teterboro tower. Soon after we turned to 300 degrees the tower cleared us for a frequency change, but did not hand us over to any other controling facility. By this time the infraction had taken place. I was informed that the plane was tracked on radar and we were idented by lancaster tower when I called to pass over their air traffic area. I was then notified of a # to call and was then told of the incident. Several factors which I believe led to this incident were: the fact that my student was flying and I did not pay enough attention while under the TCA sector. The extreme wind shifts and turbulence caused both my student and I to worry about keeping the airplane upright. The wind may have blown us south. The garbled radio xmissions. My lack of responsibility.

Title: PENETRATION OF EWR TCA BY SMA DEPARTING TEB.

Narrative: UPON REQUESTING CLRNC FOR DEP I RECEIVED A CLRNC 'CLRED FOR SW TOWARDS SOLBERG.' THE PROB STARTED AT THIS POINT. CLRNC DELIVERY WAS NOT CLEAR OVER THE RADIO. THEY SIMPLY HANDED ME OFF TO GND AGAIN. OUR DEP WAS DELAYED FURTHER BECAUSE OF A BAD MAGNETO. THE MAG WAS LATER DETERMINED TO BE ALRIGHT. I WAS PERFORMING THE RADIO OPS WHILE MY STUDENT (A PVT PLT WORKING ON INSTRUMENT AND COMPLEX) WAS FLYING. ON TKOF ROLL TETERBORO TWR GAVE US SOME INSTRUCTIONS WHICH WERE UNREADABLE DUE TO THE INCREASED NOISE OF THE ENG AND THE VOICE SOUNDED GARBLED. I PROMPTLY ASKED THE TWR TO 'SAY AGAIN' AND I HEARD WHAT I BELIEVE WAS A CLRNC FOR A LEFT TURN OUT (WE DEPARTED RWY 01). THE TURB IN THE AREA WAS ALSO QUITE BAD WITH THE WIND BEING OUT OF THE N. (RPTS OF 35-40 KTS ALOFT WITH +/- 10 KTS WIND SHEAR ON FINAL APCH.) THE PLANE WAS BEING BOUNCED AROUND HARD ENOUGH THAT THE AUTOPLT LITERALLY FELL OUT OF THE PANEL AND HIT THE FLOOR. UPON REACHING A SAFE ALT, WE TURNED LEFT TO AN APPROX HDG OF 240 DEGS, A COURSE WHICH WOULD LINE US UP WITH THE SOLBERG VOR. WE WERE STILL IN CONTACT WITH THE TWR AT THIS TIME. WITH THE STRONG WIND AND AN INEXPERIENCED TRNING INSTRUMENT PLT FLYING, IT IS EASY TO SEE THAT WE GOT BLOWN S TOWARDS EWR'S AIRSPACE. THE TWR DID TELL US TO TURN TO A HDG OF 300 DEGS, BUT I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THEM TO SAY THAT WE WERE ENTERING THE TCA. AT ONE POINT, I LOOKED TOWARDS EWR AND SAW THAT WE WERE CLOSE BUT WE WERE STILL IN CONTACT WITH THE TETERBORO TWR. SOON AFTER WE TURNED TO 300 DEGS THE TWR CLRED US FOR A FREQ CHANGE, BUT DID NOT HAND US OVER TO ANY OTHER CTLING FAC. BY THIS TIME THE INFRACTION HAD TAKEN PLACE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PLANE WAS TRACKED ON RADAR AND WE WERE IDENTED BY LANCASTER TWR WHEN I CALLED TO PASS OVER THEIR ATA. I WAS THEN NOTIFIED OF A # TO CALL AND WAS THEN TOLD OF THE INCIDENT. SEVERAL FACTORS WHICH I BELIEVE LED TO THIS INCIDENT WERE: THE FACT THAT MY STUDENT WAS FLYING AND I DID NOT PAY ENOUGH ATTN WHILE UNDER THE TCA SECTOR. THE EXTREME WIND SHIFTS AND TURB CAUSED BOTH MY STUDENT AND I TO WORRY ABOUT KEEPING THE AIRPLANE UPRIGHT. THE WIND MAY HAVE BLOWN US S. THE GARBLED RADIO XMISSIONS. MY LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.
