Narrative:
I was on a chkride for a part 141 commercial pilot training course, imitating a x-country from 1g3 to waterloo, canada. At about chardon, oh, the ckp requested that I fly to cuyahoga county airport. I contacted cuyahoga county tower and proceeded to head west. En route I believe I entered into lnn's (county's sister airport) air traffic area for about 1/2 mi. I had mistaken lnn for cuyahoga county airport. I noticed the towers beside lnn and realized I was heading to the wrong airport. At that time I proceeded to head to cuyahoga county. I should have determined where cuyahoga county airport was exactly before continuing into that area.
