Narrative:
2 aircraft were xferred to adjacent ctrs at the wrong altitudes. 1 aircraft was climbed on oceanic data link while the other's strips were updated so the mistake was not caught until over the boundary. Happened on the mid shift, fatigue was a factor in misreading progress reports. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: analyst learned in the callback that the reporter was the primary controller of 2 working the position. The adjacent ctrs were ppg and ZHN and that one G4 was at FL390 and the other at FL430.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: RPTED SIT IN WHICH 2 G4'S ENTERED ADJACENT CTRS AIRSPACES AT THE WRONG ALTS.
Narrative: 2 ACFT WERE XFERRED TO ADJACENT CTRS AT THE WRONG ALTS. 1 ACFT WAS CLBED ON OCEANIC DATA LINK WHILE THE OTHER'S STRIPS WERE UPDATED SO THE MISTAKE WAS NOT CAUGHT UNTIL OVER THE BOUNDARY. HAPPENED ON THE MID SHIFT, FATIGUE WAS A FACTOR IN MISREADING PROGRESS RPTS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: ANALYST LEARNED IN THE CALLBACK THAT THE RPTR WAS THE PRIMARY CTLR OF 2 WORKING THE POS. THE ADJACENT CTRS WERE PPG AND ZHN AND THAT ONE G4 WAS AT FL390 AND THE OTHER AT FL430.
