Thanks Marcus.
Your comments are 100% appreciated. While I never fly VFR with the GPS on it is true I use the autopilot too much. Need to get more time 'hands on stick' and eyes ahead.
To be fair, my first fail was a time when (and it may have been you) the controller was extremely busy - early Saturday your time and it was difficult to get a transmission in.
And then it didn't help I was flying the Beech Baron flat out at 180 kn when I should have picked something slower whilst a little bit rusty on the Bravo transitions.
Your best advice is obviously - practice practice practice – should be able to do these transitions with eyes closed (not literally).
After a little bit of upcoming PMDG time I think I need to be criss-crossing the Bravo repeatedly to improve proficiency.
Thanks again
