Narrative:
Aircraft X was an IFR overflight through the airspace at 5;000 feet from west to east. As the aircraft was exiting the airspace to the east; it entered a 6;000 foot minimum vectoring altitude (MVA) still at 5;000 feet. As the aircraft was in auto-flash to atlanta center; approximately 5 miles inside the 6;000 foot MVA; the center controller called me on the shout line and requested the aircraft be issued 6;000 feet for MVA. I immediately told the aircraft to climb and maintain 6;000 feet for terrain. The aircraft climbed to 6;000 feet and was handed-off to atlanta center.pay more attention to detail with aircraft altitudes and the MVA's they're flying through.
