I would ask for the supervisor and explain the situation, the possibility of
mistaken identity, and offer to send in the GPS plot. If it goes further
than this, they should be able to match up your GPS plot with a radar track
and clear you. I don't know if they will do this, but because of the
possibility of things like this happening I am a member of the AOPA legal
services plan and I would call them to get a more solid answer to what steps
I should take.

Usenet is great, but there times a lawyer representing you and making a
couple of calls can really put your mind to ease.

Hi everyone,
I have a question for people who fly in CT, and NY often. Today I was
flying from Danbury (DXR) to Brookhaven (HWV). I flew out without
incident.
Coming home I flew from Brookhaven direct to Calverton then to Bridgeport
then direct Danbury using a combination of my sectional chart and GPS as a
backup. The whole route was flown at 3,000 ft with the exception of
takeoff
from Brookhaven and a decent about 8 miles to the south of Danbury. Upon
arrival ground control at Danbury gave me a phone number to contact NY
approach on. I called the number and was transferred to a controller who I
told my call sign the control accused me of flying through the Westchester
County Airports airspace at 2,800 ft. I was never within more then 20
Miles
of White Plains on my whole route. This is confirmed with my GPS which has
the tracked route stored in it and my by extensive knowledge of the area.
I
also confirmed I was directly over Bridgeport and flew in-between the
lakes
in the area if anyone is familiar with them. The controllers insisted it
was
me and said he tracked me flying over Westchester, I'm absolutely positive
I
was never in the area. He got alittle agitated when I told him I believed
I
was correct and he just demanded it was me for sure. I'm just curious what
anyone else would do in this case. Another aircraft came into Danbury
around
the same times from the south and I think this is a case of mistaken
identity and was accused of busting the class delta for no reason. Are
there
any actions or steps I can take against being falsely accused?

Thanks,
Chris
