Narrative:

Cpr X departed agc airport. Rted agc ewc yqg ptk which is improper routing. I called pittsburgh approach and had them put cpr X in a heading of 360 degrees to facilitate a rerte to proper routing, djb V75 junrr ptk. Cpr X was then rerted via djb route. I advised the associate controller to point out the aircraft before it entered the briggs sector. The associate called the briggs sector with the pointout and advised me that briggs now wanted the aircraft rerted into their airspace via the bsv VOR then direct to djb. I rerted to bsv VOR climbing to FL210 and flashed a handoff to the briggs sector. I then went and performed other control functions in my sector. When I looked back at cpr X he had just started flashing conflict alert with another aircraft at FL210. I immediately turned the aircraft to a diverging heading and descended the aircraft. I then advised the briggs sector. Supplemental information from acn 214811: cpr X departed agc via ewc. Cip called to point out this cpr X to bsv and was interrupted by an aircraft on frequency. Then hop called bsv and cip confused, began talking to hop who requested routing via bsv djb on cip then assumed that gave them control to proceed direct bsv climb to FL210. Cpr X was climbed to FL210 and violated bsv before this assumed pointout was ever made. A couple mins later, hop called bsv to ask if aircraft was stopped at FL200. The bsv trainee responded affirmative because the call was partially blocked and only 1 aircraft was climbing in our sector at that time. This aircraft was inadvertently climbed to FL220 by pit approach when we had only released FL200. We misunderstood the aircraft in question for two reasons: 1) cpr X had never been pointed out to us nor handed off. We were not aware he was climbing and were not expecting a call concerning him. 2) cpr Y was supposedly cleared to FL200 only and at the time of the call questioning FL200 we realized he had gone through FL200. My immediate thought was to vector this aircraft and determine his assigned altitude. The assigned altitude was FL220 due to an error by pit approach. Supplemental information from acn 215144: I assumed the position with my trainer. I called departure control and said they could climb cpr Y to FL200. Cpr Y checks on a few mins later climbing to FL220. Both instructor and I missed the wrong altitude. I'm waiting for a pointout, with respect to cpr X climbing through my airspace. Someone calls me on my override, at the same time a plane gives a readback, I turn the rco switch and say yes, then another controller jumps in and starts talking to the first controller. I figure a radar controller had called me then someone called him on his override and that I was listening to their conversation. They were talking about cpr X and that he had to have different routing. They seemed to resolve the routing problem and hung up. Someone calls and asks if an aircraft is stopped at FL200 (the call sign was garbled because of an aircraft making a request). I said yes, and then noticed cpr Y climbing through FL205. My trainer unplugged me and turned cpr Y to a heading 270 degrees. A few seconds later, cpr Y and cpr X started to flash confliction separation was lost 3 mi and 400 ft. A controller north of my airspace had turned cpr X into my airspace without a pointout or radar handoff.

Title: CPR X HAD LTSS WITH CPR Y. ARTCC INTRAFAC COORD. SYS ERROR.

Narrative: CPR X DEPARTED AGC ARPT. RTED AGC EWC YQG PTK WHICH IS IMPROPER ROUTING. I CALLED PITTSBURGH APCH AND HAD THEM PUT CPR X IN A HDG OF 360 DEGS TO FACILITATE A RERTE TO PROPER ROUTING, DJB V75 JUNRR PTK. CPR X WAS THEN RERTED VIA DJB RTE. I ADVISED THE ASSOCIATE CTLR TO POINT OUT THE ACFT BEFORE IT ENTERED THE BRIGGS SECTOR. THE ASSOCIATE CALLED THE BRIGGS SECTOR WITH THE POINTOUT AND ADVISED ME THAT BRIGGS NOW WANTED THE ACFT RERTED INTO THEIR AIRSPACE VIA THE BSV VOR THEN DIRECT TO DJB. I RERTED TO BSV VOR CLBING TO FL210 AND FLASHED A HDOF TO THE BRIGGS SECTOR. I THEN WENT AND PERFORMED OTHER CTL FUNCTIONS IN MY SECTOR. WHEN I LOOKED BACK AT CPR X HE HAD JUST STARTED FLASHING CONFLICT ALERT WITH ANOTHER ACFT AT FL210. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE ACFT TO A DIVERGING HDG AND DSNDED THE ACFT. I THEN ADVISED THE BRIGGS SECTOR. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FROM ACN 214811: CPR X DEPARTED AGC VIA EWC. CIP CALLED TO POINT OUT THIS CPR X TO BSV AND WAS INTERRUPTED BY AN ACFT ON FREQ. THEN HOP CALLED BSV AND CIP CONFUSED, BEGAN TALKING TO HOP WHO REQUESTED ROUTING VIA BSV DJB ON CIP THEN ASSUMED THAT GAVE THEM CTL TO PROCEED DIRECT BSV CLB TO FL210. CPR X WAS CLBED TO FL210 AND VIOLATED BSV BEFORE THIS ASSUMED POINTOUT WAS EVER MADE. A COUPLE MINS LATER, HOP CALLED BSV TO ASK IF ACFT WAS STOPPED AT FL200. THE BSV TRAINEE RESPONDED AFFIRMATIVE BECAUSE THE CALL WAS PARTIALLY BLOCKED AND ONLY 1 ACFT WAS CLBING IN OUR SECTOR AT THAT TIME. THIS ACFT WAS INADVERTENTLY CLBED TO FL220 BY PIT APCH WHEN WE HAD ONLY RELEASED FL200. WE MISUNDERSTOOD THE ACFT IN QUESTION FOR TWO REASONS: 1) CPR X HAD NEVER BEEN POINTED OUT TO US NOR HANDED OFF. WE WERE NOT AWARE HE WAS CLBING AND WERE NOT EXPECTING A CALL CONCERNING HIM. 2) CPR Y WAS SUPPOSEDLY CLRED TO FL200 ONLY AND AT THE TIME OF THE CALL QUESTIONING FL200 WE REALIZED HE HAD GONE THROUGH FL200. MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT WAS TO VECTOR THIS ACFT AND DETERMINE HIS ASSIGNED ALT. THE ASSIGNED ALT WAS FL220 DUE TO AN ERROR BY PIT APCH. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FROM ACN 215144: I ASSUMED THE POS WITH MY TRAINER. I CALLED DEP CTL AND SAID THEY COULD CLB CPR Y TO FL200. CPR Y CHKS ON A FEW MINS LATER CLBING TO FL220. BOTH INSTRUCTOR AND I MISSED THE WRONG ALT. I'M WAITING FOR A POINTOUT, WITH RESPECT TO CPR X CLBING THROUGH MY AIRSPACE. SOMEONE CALLS ME ON MY OVERRIDE, AT THE SAME TIME A PLANE GIVES A READBACK, I TURN THE RCO SWITCH AND SAY YES, THEN ANOTHER CTLR JUMPS IN AND STARTS TALKING TO THE FIRST CTLR. I FIGURE A RADAR CTLR HAD CALLED ME THEN SOMEONE CALLED HIM ON HIS OVERRIDE AND THAT I WAS LISTENING TO THEIR CONVERSATION. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT CPR X AND THAT HE HAD TO HAVE DIFFERENT ROUTING. THEY SEEMED TO RESOLVE THE ROUTING PROBLEM AND HUNG UP. SOMEONE CALLS AND ASKS IF AN ACFT IS STOPPED AT FL200 (THE CALL SIGN WAS GARBLED BECAUSE OF AN ACFT MAKING A REQUEST). I SAID YES, AND THEN NOTICED CPR Y CLBING THROUGH FL205. MY TRAINER UNPLUGGED ME AND TURNED CPR Y TO A HDG 270 DEGS. A FEW SECONDS LATER, CPR Y AND CPR X STARTED TO FLASH CONFLICTION SEPARATION WAS LOST 3 MI AND 400 FT. A CTLR N OF MY AIRSPACE HAD TURNED CPR X INTO MY AIRSPACE WITHOUT A POINTOUT OR RADAR HDOF.
