Narrative:
Light transport X inbound at 6000 ft to pdk. Small transport Y pdk departure to bhm at 5000 ft. Turned small transport Y to 240 degrees and climbed to 7000 ft. About 1 1/2 mins later, light transport X lost separation with small transport Y. I had light transport X turn immediately to a 290 degree heading and descend to 4000 ft. Small transport Y was only at 6500 ft. Problem was caused because I was not watching rate of climb on small transport Y. I had 10-13 aircraft on frequency at time and was working on a couple other sits.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: DEP CTLR CLBED SMT THROUGH LTT ALT WITH LTSS.
Narrative: LTT X INBOUND AT 6000 FT TO PDK. SMT Y PDK DEP TO BHM AT 5000 FT. TURNED SMT Y TO 240 DEGS AND CLBED TO 7000 FT. ABOUT 1 1/2 MINS LATER, LTT X LOST SEPARATION WITH SMT Y. I HAD LTT X TURN IMMEDIATELY TO A 290 DEG HDG AND DSND TO 4000 FT. SMT Y WAS ONLY AT 6500 FT. PROB WAS CAUSED BECAUSE I WAS NOT WATCHING RATE OF CLB ON SMT Y. I HAD 10-13 ACFT ON FREQ AT TIME AND WAS WORKING ON A COUPLE OTHER SITS.
