Narrative:

I was working coast satellite radar. I placed an mlt in handoff to military satellite radar on a southwest heading at 4000 ft as per local SOP's. I accepted a handoff on small aircraft Y (heading southeast) from military satellite radar. Small aircraft Y was expected to be at 3000 ft (odd altitude eastbound) as per local SOP and was not coordinated different. Small aircraft Y checked in at 4000 ft. Upon realizing he was at 4000 ft, I turned and descended small aircraft Y to 3000 ft, within 30 seconds after small aircraft Y checked in. After taking evasive action, I realized that military satellite radar had not taken the automated handoff prior to entering military satellite radar's airspace. Further investigation and review is continuing. Factors contributing were controller workload on coast satellite radar and on military satellite radar, which had 3 position combined. Also contributing was not adhering to procedures and outside coordination distracting both position. To prevent further occurrences, stick to procedures and cut down on coordination. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: the reporter is currently a developmental, certified on 3 radar position. Less than standard separation was 500 ft and 2.3 mi. Location was 25 mi south of jax. Reporter was decertified and has subsequently failed the recertification process.

Title: NON COMPLIANCE WITH FACILITY SOP. SMA Y UNCOORDINATED RADAR HDOF AT WRONG ALT HAD LTSS WITH MLT AT SAME ALT. SYS ERROR.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING COAST SATELLITE RADAR. I PLACED AN MLT IN HDOF TO MIL SATELLITE RADAR ON A SW HDG AT 4000 FT AS PER LCL SOP'S. I ACCEPTED A HDOF ON SMA Y (HDG SE) FROM MIL SATELLITE RADAR. SMA Y WAS EXPECTED TO BE AT 3000 FT (ODD ALT EBOUND) AS PER LCL SOP AND WAS NOT COORDINATED DIFFERENT. SMA Y CHKED IN AT 4000 FT. UPON REALIZING HE WAS AT 4000 FT, I TURNED AND DSNDED SMA Y TO 3000 FT, WITHIN 30 SECONDS AFTER SMA Y CHKED IN. AFTER TAKING EVASIVE ACTION, I REALIZED THAT MIL SATELLITE RADAR HAD NOT TAKEN THE AUTOMATED HDOF PRIOR TO ENTERING MIL SATELLITE RADAR'S AIRSPACE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND REVIEW IS CONTINUING. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING WERE CTLR WORKLOAD ON COAST SATELLITE RADAR AND ON MIL SATELLITE RADAR, WHICH HAD 3 POS COMBINED. ALSO CONTRIBUTING WAS NOT ADHERING TO PROCS AND OUTSIDE COORD DISTRACTING BOTH POS. TO PREVENT FURTHER OCCURRENCES, STICK TO PROCS AND CUT DOWN ON COORD. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: THE RPTR IS CURRENTLY A DEVELOPMENTAL, CERTIFIED ON 3 RADAR POS. LTSS WAS 500 FT AND 2.3 MI. LOCATION WAS 25 MI S OF JAX. RPTR WAS DECERTIFIED AND HAS SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED THE RECERTIFICATION PROCESS.
