You would like to enter Class B airspace and contact the approach controller. The controller responds to your initial radio call with "N125HF standby." May you enter the Class B airspace?
A
You must remain outside Class B airspace until controller gives you a specific clearance.✓ Correct Answer
B
You may continue into the Class B airspace and wait for further instructions.
C
You may continue into the Class B airspace without a specific clearance, if the aircraft is ADS-B equipped.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.131(a)(1) requires an ATC clearance before operating in Class B airspace; hearing your call sign followed by 'standby' establishes communication but is not a clearance, so you must stay outside until you hear 'cleared into the Class B airspace'. Being ADS-B equipped does not replace the clearance.
