Narrative:

During a sic far 135.293 flight check and check airman initial evaluation with an FAA inspector on board, aircraft was given a block altitude of 11000-12000 ft and an assigned heading for some air work. Stalls were accomplished on a constant heading (as assigned) then the check airman conducted an unusual attitude demonstration. During the onset of the unusual attitude the check airman maneuvered the aircraft to a 90 degree left heading change. When the sic (the reporter) initiated recovery, the recovery maneuvered the aircraft into another ATC sector's airspace. The center (ZID) controller cautioned the aircraft that it had entered another sector without permission and instructed the aircraft to return to the assigned area with a heading change. The citation 560 was equipped with TCASII and was operating in the RA/TA mode. We had a 30 mi radius selected on the fmd and no other aircraft were visible within the 30 mi radius. The check airman asked for a block altitude to perform 'air work' and was assigned an altitude block, but with a heading instead of the normal clearance of a block of airspace. Caution should be taken to apprise the controllers that heading as well as altitude changes are necessary during the conduct of an FAA flight check -- this should be the responsibility of the check airman. In this case, the check airman was undergoing an initial evaluation for check airman authority/authorized and I believe learned a valuable lesson. Unfortunately, the applicant (the reporter), because of the check airman's lapse, earned an unsatisfactory in judgement and CRM.

Title: FLC ON TRAINING FLT MANEUVERED ACFT INTO ANOTHER SECTOR'S AIRSPACE.

Narrative: DURING A SIC FAR 135.293 FLT CHK AND CHK AIRMAN INITIAL EVALUATION WITH AN FAA INSPECTOR ON BOARD, ACFT WAS GIVEN A BLOCK ALT OF 11000-12000 FT AND AN ASSIGNED HDG FOR SOME AIR WORK. STALLS WERE ACCOMPLISHED ON A CONSTANT HDG (AS ASSIGNED) THEN THE CHK AIRMAN CONDUCTED AN UNUSUAL ATTITUDE DEMONSTRATION. DURING THE ONSET OF THE UNUSUAL ATTITUDE THE CHK AIRMAN MANEUVERED THE ACFT TO A 90 DEG L HDG CHANGE. WHEN THE SIC (THE RPTR) INITIATED RECOVERY, THE RECOVERY MANEUVERED THE ACFT INTO ANOTHER ATC SECTOR'S AIRSPACE. THE CTR (ZID) CTLR CAUTIONED THE ACFT THAT IT HAD ENTERED ANOTHER SECTOR WITHOUT PERMISSION AND INSTRUCTED THE ACFT TO RETURN TO THE ASSIGNED AREA WITH A HDG CHANGE. THE CITATION 560 WAS EQUIPPED WITH TCASII AND WAS OPERATING IN THE RA/TA MODE. WE HAD A 30 MI RADIUS SELECTED ON THE FMD AND NO OTHER ACFT WERE VISIBLE WITHIN THE 30 MI RADIUS. THE CHK AIRMAN ASKED FOR A BLOCK ALT TO PERFORM 'AIR WORK' AND WAS ASSIGNED AN ALT BLOCK, BUT WITH A HDG INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL CLRNC OF A BLOCK OF AIRSPACE. CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN TO APPRISE THE CTLRS THAT HDG AS WELL AS ALT CHANGES ARE NECESSARY DURING THE CONDUCT OF AN FAA FLT CHK -- THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHK AIRMAN. IN THIS CASE, THE CHK AIRMAN WAS UNDERGOING AN INITIAL EVALUATION FOR CHK AIRMAN AUTH AND I BELIEVE LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON. UNFORTUNATELY, THE APPLICANT (THE RPTR), BECAUSE OF THE CHK AIRMAN'S LAPSE, EARNED AN UNSATISFACTORY IN JUDGEMENT AND CRM.
