Narrative:
Aircraft was observed 6.1 NM west of orlando international at 4500'. Supervisor was notified that a TCA violator was in the area. The feeder controller had to vector aircraft around and above the VFR target to avoid a conflict thereby interrupting the orderly flow of traffic to mco. Aircraft was tracked to the ism airport, the watch supervisor never followed-up. The reason for this letter, outside the obvious, is that this type occurrence happens daily at orlando and is rarely followed-up. It's dangerous!
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN ACFT ENTERED THE TCA WITHOUT AN ATC CLRNC AND THE SUPERVISOR FAILED TO REPORT INCIDENT TO FSDO.
Narrative: ACFT WAS OBSERVED 6.1 NM W OF ORLANDO INTL AT 4500'. SUPVR WAS NOTIFIED THAT A TCA VIOLATOR WAS IN THE AREA. THE FEEDER CTLR HAD TO VECTOR ACFT AROUND AND ABOVE THE VFR TARGET TO AVOID A CONFLICT THEREBY INTERRUPTING THE ORDERLY FLOW OF TFC TO MCO. ACFT WAS TRACKED TO THE ISM ARPT, THE WATCH SUPVR NEVER FOLLOWED-UP. THE REASON FOR THIS LETTER, OUTSIDE THE OBVIOUS, IS THAT THIS TYPE OCCURRENCE HAPPENS DAILY AT ORLANDO AND IS RARELY FOLLOWED-UP.
