I'm hoping to make my long VFR cross-country for my commercial license
this afternoon and evening (to get both day and night into one flight).
I'm tentatively planning to fly into CAK which is class bravo airspace.
As I was planning the flight today, I realized that I haven't flown VFR
into class B in I can't remember when. I've flow IFR almost exclusively
since getting the rating 14 years ago.

I know that clearance is required to enter class B, but IFR this was taken
care of. I assume that the approach controllers routinely issue this
clearance when your destination is field in their area, but I wanted to be
sure. My plan is to request the clearance if I have received it prior to
entering class B, but I'm wondering what the SOP is these days for VFR
into class B.


CAK has Class C airspace.
