Narrative:

Overflt was handoff to my sector 10000 ft descending. I thought the aircraft would be and should be descending to 2000 ft. However it was stopped at 8000 ft. The automatic handoff was accepted by N90. The aircraft was never on my frequency and N90 never talked to him. ZDC was descending their traffic to 8000 ft over rsw, N90 never called for the overflt they never questioned the traffic's altitude. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter works at phl approach. Overflt aircraft was supposed to be at 7000 ft for N90 airspace. Reporter was conducting training on the position. Aircraft involved was an air carrier: type -- ATR42. Previous controller did not change aircraft to reporter's frequency.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: OP DEV -- AIRSPACE DEV.

Narrative: OVERFLT WAS HDOF TO MY SECTOR 10000 FT DSNDING. I THOUGHT THE ACFT WOULD BE AND SHOULD BE DSNDING TO 2000 FT. HOWEVER IT WAS STOPPED AT 8000 FT. THE AUTOMATIC HDOF WAS ACCEPTED BY N90. THE ACFT WAS NEVER ON MY FREQ AND N90 NEVER TALKED TO HIM. ZDC WAS DSNDING THEIR TFC TO 8000 FT OVER RSW, N90 NEVER CALLED FOR THE OVERFLT THEY NEVER QUESTIONED THE TFC'S ALT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR WORKS AT PHL APCH. OVERFLT ACFT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT 7000 FT FOR N90 AIRSPACE. RPTR WAS CONDUCTING TRAINING ON THE POS. ACFT INVOLVED WAS AN ACR: TYPE -- ATR42. PREVIOUS CTLR DID NOT CHANGE ACFT TO RPTR'S FREQ.
