Narrative:

I was working the east departure position. I was working 3 departure streams out south of charlotte and all the east departures. I observed a handoff flashing at me from the southwest. I took the handoff on cpr X a cessna citation (C550). The aircraft was at 13000 ft and going direct to monroe airport (eqy). With the 3 departure streams between this aircraft and the airport he was going to, I had to turn the aircraft due north and wait approximately 15 mi before I could descend him. I also had to turn 2 departures to ensure separation would be maintained. Once I had cleared the departures I handed the aircraft off to the satellite. There are procedures between the charlotte tower and ZTL for these type of arrs. They are supposed to be cleared into charlotte's airspace via the stars. The situation could have been prevented if procedures would have been followed. The workload for the departure position was not excessive, but the procedures should be followed!

Title: CPR X ON NON STANDARD RTE. ARTCC NON COMPLIANCE WITH LOA.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING THE E DEP POS. I WAS WORKING 3 DEP STREAMS OUT S OF CHARLOTTE AND ALL THE EAST DEPS. I OBSERVED A HDOF FLASHING AT ME FROM THE SW. I TOOK THE HDOF ON CPR X A CESSNA CITATION (C550). THE ACFT WAS AT 13000 FT AND GOING DIRECT TO MONROE ARPT (EQY). WITH THE 3 DEP STREAMS BTWN THIS ACFT AND THE ARPT HE WAS GOING TO, I HAD TO TURN THE ACFT DUE N AND WAIT APPROX 15 MI BEFORE I COULD DSND HIM. I ALSO HAD TO TURN 2 DEPS TO ENSURE SEPARATION WOULD BE MAINTAINED. ONCE I HAD CLRED THE DEPS I HANDED THE ACFT OFF TO THE SATELLITE. THERE ARE PROCS BTWN THE CHARLOTTE TWR AND ZTL FOR THESE TYPE OF ARRS. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CLRED INTO CHARLOTTE'S AIRSPACE VIA THE STARS. THE SIT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF PROCS WOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED. THE WORKLOAD FOR THE DEP POS WAS NOT EXCESSIVE, BUT THE PROCS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED!
