Narrative:

Aircraft departed ozw en route to arb. Due to WX, aircraft went missed approach and was put in hold at sum. While in holding, aircraft handed off to lan approach. Lan took handoff and then handed aircraft off to pontiac sector (I was working ruxx sector). Aircraft went into a coast track, dropped from scope and reappeared on a 'C' tag. Aircraft asked to change destination to yip. I vectored aircraft to yip, cleared for approach and switched frequency to yip tower. Aircraft did not call yip tower until it went missed approach. Yip had an aircraft in position and hold waiting for departure release. Aircraft on approach was a 'C' tag with 'arb' in 'scratch pad' in the data block. Yip tower claims they did not see aircraft on their BRITE and no knowledge of who he was or what he was doing in their airspace. Due to automation problems, I was working a combined sector with numerous departures off dtw and sat arrs.

Title: D21 CTLR DOES NOT ENSURE HDOF TO YIP TWR WHERE ACFT EXECUTES MISSED APCH OVER ACFT ON RWY.

Narrative: ACFT DEPARTED OZW ENRTE TO ARB. DUE TO WX, ACFT WENT MISSED APCH AND WAS PUT IN HOLD AT SUM. WHILE IN HOLDING, ACFT HANDED OFF TO LAN APCH. LAN TOOK HDOF AND THEN HANDED ACFT OFF TO PONTIAC SECTOR (I WAS WORKING RUXX SECTOR). ACFT WENT INTO A COAST TRACK, DROPPED FROM SCOPE AND REAPPEARED ON A 'C' TAG. ACFT ASKED TO CHANGE DEST TO YIP. I VECTORED ACFT TO YIP, CLRED FOR APCH AND SWITCHED FREQ TO YIP TWR. ACFT DID NOT CALL YIP TWR UNTIL IT WENT MISSED APCH. YIP HAD AN ACFT IN POS AND HOLD WAITING FOR DEP RELEASE. ACFT ON APCH WAS A 'C' TAG WITH 'ARB' IN 'SCRATCH PAD' IN THE DATA BLOCK. YIP TWR CLAIMS THEY DID NOT SEE ACFT ON THEIR BRITE AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHO HE WAS OR WHAT HE WAS DOING IN THEIR AIRSPACE. DUE TO AUTOMATION PROBS, I WAS WORKING A COMBINED SECTOR WITH NUMEROUS DEPS OFF DTW AND SAT ARRS.
