Narrative:

Once level at 2000 ft, 350 degrees, I contacted departure. They gave us an additional turn to the right and climb clearance along with 'radar contact.' at that point, I dialed in the new altitude and set the heading bugs. My captain began the turn and climb and then abruptly stopped the climb to avoid the traffic. After inquiring the departure controller about the situation, he advised us that the beech was in burke tower's local control and had failed to contact the tower at the appropriate distance from the airport, the departure controller was helpful in the fact that he did call burke tower to investigate and try to find out what happened.

Narrative: ONCE LEVEL AT 2000 FT, 350 DEGS, I CONTACTED DEP. THEY GAVE US AN ADDITIONAL TURN TO THE R AND CLB CLRNC ALONG WITH 'RADAR CONTACT.' AT THAT POINT, I DIALED IN THE NEW ALT AND SET THE HDG BUGS. MY CAPT BEGAN THE TURN AND CLB AND THEN ABRUPTLY STOPPED THE CLB TO AVOID THE TFC. AFTER INQUIRING THE DEP CTLR ABOUT THE SIT, HE ADVISED US THAT THE BEECH WAS IN BURKE TWR'S LCL CTL AND HAD FAILED TO CONTACT THE TWR AT THE APPROPRIATE DISTANCE FROM THE ARPT, THE DEP CTLR WAS HELPFUL IN THE FACT THAT HE DID CALL BURKE TWR TO INVESTIGATE AND TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
