Narrative:

A C172 departed IFR, runway 14, given a left turn to gread intersection, climbing to 5000 ft. E120 was released by tyndall approach control (pam) after the C172 with a left turn to 090 degrees and climbing to 5000 ft. The E120 and C172 were within 1/2 mi laterally and 200 ft vertical when the E120 was 2 mi southeast of pfn. At this time (XA18Z) pam called pfn and amended the heading for the E120 to runway heading. The C172 is based locally. What caused the problem: incapable controllers at tyndall. Prevention: assign approach control responsibilities to an FAA facility.

Title: LOSS OF STANDARD SEPARATION WHILE ACFT 2 WAS OVERTAKING ACFT 1.

Narrative: A C172 DEPARTED IFR, RWY 14, GIVEN A L TURN TO GREAD INTXN, CLBING TO 5000 FT. E120 WAS RELEASED BY TYNDALL APCH CTL (PAM) AFTER THE C172 WITH A L TURN TO 090 DEGS AND CLBING TO 5000 FT. THE E120 AND C172 WERE WITHIN 1/2 MI LATERALLY AND 200 FT VERT WHEN THE E120 WAS 2 MI SE OF PFN. AT THIS TIME (XA18Z) PAM CALLED PFN AND AMENDED THE HDG FOR THE E120 TO RWY HDG. THE C172 IS BASED LOCALLY. WHAT CAUSED THE PROB: INCAPABLE CTLRS AT TYNDALL. PREVENTION: ASSIGN APCH CTL RESPONSIBILITIES TO AN FAA FACILITY.
