Narrative:

I was giving training to a radar developmental who failed to handoff air carrier X to atlanta center. The aircraft got 10 mi inside atlanta airspace prior to handoff. This deviation could have been prevented if the automatic-handoff function was not suppressed at ZDC on departures/arrs by our automation section. The controller workforce was not even aware that the function was suppressed.

Title: ACR PENETRATED ADJACENT FAC AIRSPACE WITHOUT HANDOFF.

Narrative: I WAS GIVING TRAINING TO A RADAR DEVELOPMENTAL WHO FAILED TO HANDOFF ACR X TO ATLANTA CENTER. THE ACFT GOT 10 MI INSIDE ATLANTA AIRSPACE PRIOR TO HANDOFF. THIS DEVIATION COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THE AUTO-HANDOFF FUNCTION WAS NOT SUPPRESSED AT ZDC ON DEPS/ARRS BY OUR AUTOMATION SECTION. THE CTLR WORKFORCE WAS NOT EVEN AWARE THAT THE FUNCTION WAS SUPPRESSED.
