Narrative:
Air carrier X was called radar contact by the radar associate. Radar associate informed me that air carrier X needed to be given preferential routing. I also gave air carrier X a beacon code change. I saw air carrier X in the flash mode. I thought air carrier X was flashing to the marlington (37) sector. Air carrier X was never automated by me. ZTL took the handoff back and the data tag dropped off. I was extremely busy with other sits and did not notice air carrier X was gone. Air carrier X violated sector 37.

Title: ZDC CTLR DOES NOT ENSURE AUTOMATION HDOF IS COMPLETED TO ZTL AND ACFT IS FOUND IN ZID AIRSPACE.
Narrative: ACR X WAS CALLED RADAR CONTACT BY THE RADAR ASSOCIATE. RADAR ASSOCIATE INFORMED ME THAT ACR X NEEDED TO BE GIVEN PREFERENTIAL ROUTING. I ALSO GAVE ACR X A BEACON CODE CHANGE. I SAW ACR X IN THE FLASH MODE. I THOUGHT ACR X WAS FLASHING TO THE MARLINGTON (37) SECTOR. ACR X WAS NEVER AUTOMATED BY ME. ZTL TOOK THE HDOF BACK AND THE DATA TAG DROPPED OFF. I WAS EXTREMELY BUSY WITH OTHER SITS AND DID NOT NOTICE ACR X WAS GONE. ACR X VIOLATED SECTOR 37.
