Too often I keep hearing on the radio "Am I clear into class B???" when they clearly received one in the first place.
From JO7110.65S (This order prescribes air traffic control procedures and phraseology for use by personnel providing air traffic control services; Link to PDF http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/m...r/7110.65S.pdf):

operate in Class B airspace.

REFERENCE
FAAO JO 7110.65, Para 2-1-18, Operational Requests.
FAAO JO 7110.65, Para 2-4-22, Airspace Classes.

NOTE-
1. Assignment of radar headings, routes, or altitudes is
based on the provision that a pilot operating in accordance
with VFR is expected to advise ATC if compliance will
cause violation of any part of the CFR.


2. Separation and sequencing for VFR aircraft is
dependent upon radar. Efforts should be made to segregate
VFR traffic from IFR traffic flows when a radar outage
occurs.

b. Approve/deny requests from VFR aircraft to
operate in Class B airspace based on workload,
operational limitations and traffic conditions.

c. Inform the pilot when to expect further
clearance when VFR aircraft are held either inside or
outside Class B airspace.

airspace.
