IO540, we are not "Investigators" and neither do we take delight in having to follow these things up. The pilot was simply asked to contact the supervisor. He would've been asked if he'd realised that he had penetrated controlled airspace and, dependant upon his answer, asked to explain the reason for that unauthorised penetration. More often than not, if there was no erosion of separation between aircraft, controllers are reluctant to go into paperwork - we have enough to do as it is. A simple explanation of the airspace and procedures is enough. That said, a lot depends on the pilot's attitude. If he comes out fighting, with an agressive attitude, denying everything, then radar replays and paperwork will undoubtedly follow. We are here to help, educate and provide a safe service to
ALL airspace users.
