Narrative:
Small aircraft X was heading 350 degrees off the airport using prearranged coordination through another controller's airspace. The other controller was less than 1 1/2 mi from my boundary without a pointout. The planes passed about a mi apart. The problem was the inbound small aircraft Y was being vectored too close to departures and I was distracted by other aircraft calling. No prevention is needed -- just more vigilance.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: SMA Y UNAUTHORIZED AIRSPACE PENETRATION HAD LTSS FROM SMA X. SYS ERROR.
Narrative: SMA X WAS HDG 350 DEGS OFF THE ARPT USING PREARRANGED COORD THROUGH ANOTHER CTLR'S AIRSPACE. THE OTHER CTLR WAS LESS THAN 1 1/2 MI FROM MY BOUNDARY WITHOUT A POINTOUT. THE PLANES PASSED ABOUT A MI APART. THE PROBLEM WAS THE INBOUND SMA Y WAS BEING VECTORED TOO CLOSE TO DEPS AND I WAS DISTRACTED BY OTHER ACFT CALLING. NO PREVENTION IS NEEDED -- JUST MORE VIGILANCE.
