Narrative:
Aircraft X crossed swchm at 8;900 feet instead of 8000. [Pilot] stated he got a late descent from ZTL tiroe sector. The optimal profile descent (opd) need to stop at the 40 NM boundary from atl with ZTL. This way; the A80 controllers will know exactly what the aircraft are doing and can take action if needed to protect adjacent airspace and other aircraft.
