Narrative:

I was working the data position for the csg TRACON west controller. An MTR X was practicing PAR apches with lsf cga at ft benning, GA. The cga is not allocated any airspace and is located in the south sector of csg TRACON. The south controller had given cga 'control' of MTR X at or below 2000 for a second PAR approach to runway 32. When the aircraft executed its low approach, it turned left to H270 for a crosswind leg and went about 4 mi. This caused it to cross the boundary from the south controller's airspace into the west controller's airspace. A pointout was not effected until after the deviation had occurred. No other aircraft was a factor. Unfortunately, this is a fairly common occurrence. The airspace is set up in such a manner that an aircraft heading 270 off of lsf will cross the airspace boundary about 5 mi from the aerodrome. H270 is a standard missed approach instruction and departure instruction used by csg TRACON for lsf traffic. A slight change of the airspace and use of a different heading (H250) would significantly reduce the likelihood of this posing a problem.

Title: MTR X PENETRATED CGS WEST SECTOR AIRSPACE WITHOUT COORD. OPERATIONAL DEVIATION.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING THE DATA POSITION FOR THE CSG TRACON WEST CTLR. AN MTR X WAS PRACTICING PAR APCHES WITH LSF CGA AT FT BENNING, GA. THE CGA IS NOT ALLOCATED ANY AIRSPACE AND IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH SECTOR OF CSG TRACON. THE SOUTH CTLR HAD GIVEN CGA 'CONTROL' OF MTR X AT OR BELOW 2000 FOR A SECOND PAR APCH TO RWY 32. WHEN THE ACFT EXECUTED ITS LOW APCH, IT TURNED LEFT TO H270 FOR A XWIND LEG AND WENT ABOUT 4 MI. THIS CAUSED IT TO CROSS THE BOUNDARY FROM THE SOUTH CTLR'S AIRSPACE INTO THE WEST CTLR'S AIRSPACE. A POINTOUT WAS NOT EFFECTED UNTIL AFTER THE DEVIATION HAD OCCURRED. NO OTHER ACFT WAS A FACTOR. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE AIRSPACE IS SET UP IN SUCH A MANNER THAT AN ACFT HDG 270 OFF OF LSF WILL CROSS THE AIRSPACE BOUNDARY ABOUT 5 MI FROM THE AERODROME. H270 IS A STANDARD MISSED APCH INSTRUCTION AND DEP INSTRUCTION USED BY CSG TRACON FOR LSF TFC. A SLIGHT CHANGE OF THE AIRSPACE AND USE OF A DIFFERENT HDG (H250) WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS POSING A PROBLEM.
