Narrative:

Just a classic deviation, combined sector. Had to get a d-side because of so many edct updates. 1 flight plan messed up because of erroneous latitude/longitude. Another showed up with no flight plan. Handoff on another without strips. The a-side was behind. Looked up and the citation climbing out of mor was entering ZID airspace without a handoff. The solution is just as classic. Have pilots file proper flight plans. Get the airspace office to fix known automation problems. Staff the a-side. Have enough staffing to split the sectors. Nothing I haven't said and you haven't heard a million times. Thanks for doing what Y'all do.

Title: ZTL CTLR HAS OPDEV, ENTERS SECTOR WITHOUT HDOF.

Narrative: JUST A CLASSIC DEV, COMBINED SECTOR. HAD TO GET A D-SIDE BECAUSE OF SO MANY EDCT UPDATES. 1 FLT PLAN MESSED UP BECAUSE OF ERRONEOUS LATITUDE/LONGITUDE. ANOTHER SHOWED UP WITH NO FLT PLAN. HDOF ON ANOTHER WITHOUT STRIPS. THE A-SIDE WAS BEHIND. LOOKED UP AND THE CITATION CLBING OUT OF MOR WAS ENTERING ZID AIRSPACE WITHOUT A HDOF. THE SOLUTION IS JUST AS CLASSIC. HAVE PLTS FILE PROPER FLT PLANS. GET THE AIRSPACE OFFICE TO FIX KNOWN AUTOMATION PROBS. STAFF THE A-SIDE. HAVE ENOUGH STAFFING TO SPLIT THE SECTORS. NOTHING I HAVEN'T SAID AND YOU HAVEN'T HEARD A MILLION TIMES. THANKS FOR DOING WHAT Y'ALL DO.
