Narrative:

A C152, was cleared for takeoff and after safely airborne was assigned a 130 degree heading for vectors out of the class B airspace. Aircraft was asked on 3 separate occasions to turn transponder on, as I was not receiving the assigned transponder code, so I could identify aircraft. After finally receiving a weak primary radar return with no transponder, the aircraft was 4 1/2 northeast of the airport on an approximately 50 degree heading. The aircraft had not acknowledged any of my xmissions so I terminated radar service and broadcasted to remain below 2500 ft and to remain clear of the class B airspace. The aircraft eventually climbed to 5000 ft without approval by ATC. These are recurring problems at phoenix's class B airspace. Because the city and FAA allows student pilot training in close proximity of the airport, the students are inadequately trained to fly in this environment. Last yr's traffic count for phx sky harbor was close to 600000 operations, with well over 300000 plus being air carrier. It is my concern that somewhere in the near future we'll have a midair collision between a low time student pilot and air carrier resulting in a significant loss of life. Corrective action is to stop all student training at phoenix sky harbor. There are 6 plus airports within 10 flying mi where these aircraft could go for their required training.

Title: CTLR PHX ATCT CLAIMS THAT FLT SCHOOL TRAINING SHOULD NOT BE AT THAT ARPT DUE TO THE LARGE VOLUME OF ACR ACTIVITY.

Narrative: A C152, WAS CLRED FOR TKOF AND AFTER SAFELY AIRBORNE WAS ASSIGNED A 130 DEG HDG FOR VECTORS OUT OF THE CLASS B AIRSPACE. ACFT WAS ASKED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO TURN XPONDER ON, AS I WAS NOT RECEIVING THE ASSIGNED XPONDER CODE, SO I COULD IDENT ACFT. AFTER FINALLY RECEIVING A WEAK PRIMARY RADAR RETURN WITH NO XPONDER, THE ACFT WAS 4 1/2 NE OF THE ARPT ON AN APPROX 50 DEG HDG. THE ACFT HAD NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ANY OF MY XMISSIONS SO I TERMINATED RADAR SVC AND BROADCASTED TO REMAIN BELOW 2500 FT AND TO REMAIN CLR OF THE CLASS B AIRSPACE. THE ACFT EVENTUALLY CLBED TO 5000 FT WITHOUT APPROVAL BY ATC. THESE ARE RECURRING PROBS AT PHOENIX'S CLASS B AIRSPACE. BECAUSE THE CITY AND FAA ALLOWS STUDENT PLT TRAINING IN CLOSE PROX OF THE ARPT, THE STUDENTS ARE INADEQUATELY TRAINED TO FLY IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. LAST YR'S TFC COUNT FOR PHX SKY HARBOR WAS CLOSE TO 600000 OPS, WITH WELL OVER 300000 PLUS BEING ACR. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE'LL HAVE A MIDAIR COLLISION BTWN A LOW TIME STUDENT PLT AND ACR RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF LIFE. CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO STOP ALL STUDENT TRAINING AT PHOENIX SKY HARBOR. THERE ARE 6 PLUS ARPTS WITHIN 10 FLYING MI WHERE THESE ACFT COULD GO FOR THEIR REQUIRED TRAINING.
