Narrative:
While climbing out of felts field in spokane, wa, to the practice area on a check ride, I may have bumped the class C airspace at the northeast lateral limits. I leveled off at 3700 ft MSL (floor class C), descended to approximately 3600 ft and continued until unquestionably beyond class C airspace. Contributing factors: strange airplane (C172RG), check ride jitters, non home airport area.
