Narrative:

King air northbound descending to 11000 ft, my base altitude. Jetstream northbound level at 10000 ft (toledo approach), pointed out king air to approach, they released 9000 ft. The king air turned nebound toward cruxx (arrival fix) and descended into the jetstream. I originally went direct cruxx reaching 11000 ft, but traffic eastbound required a descent to 9000 ft. I forgot I had given the king air direct cruxx.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ARTCC RADAR CTLR COORDS TO DSND A CGA ACFT INTO APCH CTL AIRSPACE. THEN FORGETS THAT THE ACFT IS GOING DIRECT AND EXPERIENCES LTSS WITH A COMMUTER ACFT BEING WORKED BY APCH CTL.

Narrative: KING AIR NBOUND DSNDING TO 11000 FT, MY BASE ALT. JETSTREAM NBOUND LEVEL AT 10000 FT (TOLEDO APCH), POINTED OUT KING AIR TO APCH, THEY RELEASED 9000 FT. THE KING AIR TURNED NEBOUND TOWARD CRUXX (ARR FIX) AND DSNDED INTO THE JETSTREAM. I ORIGINALLY WENT DIRECT CRUXX REACHING 11000 FT, BUT TFC EBOUND REQUIRED A DSCNT TO 9000 FT. I FORGOT I HAD GIVEN THE KING AIR DIRECT CRUXX.
