Narrative:

Aircraft was under control of albany approach west feeder position. I was working east feeder at albany approach. Aircraft #1 was en route to ddh -- a satellite airport, controled by albany. Aircraft #1 entered east feeder airspace without prior coordination or radar handoff. I was not quick looking west feeder tagged aircraft, therefore, I was unable to help effect a radar contact. Aircraft #1 was not observed in my airspace until 5 mi east of the albany VOR, already in east feed airspace. I asked west feeder who the aircraft was and at that time a handoff was accomplished.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ALB TRACON W FEEDER CTLR FAILED TO HDOF A C310 TO THE E FEEDER CTLR PRIOR TO AIRSPACE PENETRATION.

Narrative: ACFT WAS UNDER CTL OF ALBANY APCH W FEEDER POS. I WAS WORKING E FEEDER AT ALBANY APCH. ACFT #1 WAS ENRTE TO DDH -- A SATELLITE ARPT, CTLED BY ALBANY. ACFT #1 ENTERED E FEEDER AIRSPACE WITHOUT PRIOR COORD OR RADAR HDOF. I WAS NOT QUICK LOOKING W FEEDER TAGGED ACFT, THEREFORE, I WAS UNABLE TO HELP EFFECT A RADAR CONTACT. ACFT #1 WAS NOT OBSERVED IN MY AIRSPACE UNTIL 5 MI E OF THE ALBANY VOR, ALREADY IN E FEED AIRSPACE. I ASKED W FEEDER WHO THE ACFT WAS AND AT THAT TIME A HDOF WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
