Narrative:
The flight profile of aircraft X was inaccurate as a result of the controller who had previously been working sector 4 accepting a pilot estimate that was off by 3 hours. The ZOA atop/ocean 21 system subsequently recalculated the ground speed of aircraft X predicated on a flight time between the progressed (beats) fix and estimated (bradr) fix that was 3 hours longer than normal for a bizjet. Accordingly; once the out of conformance estimate was accepted by the controller and the bradr (at the ZOA/hnl boundary) time was erroneously recalculated; ocean 21 did not pass flight plan information to ZHN prior to aircraft X entering their airspace. When aircraft X showed up in hnl airspace without any advance warning; the controller there queried me about it.

Title: ZOA OCEANIC CTLR EXPERIENCED OPDEV WHEN PREVIOUS CTLR ACCEPTED INACCURATE PLT FIX ESTIMATE THAT RESULTED IN UNAUTH HNL AIRSPACE ENTRY.
Narrative: THE FLT PROFILE OF ACFT X WAS INACCURATE AS A RESULT OF THE CTLR WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN WORKING SECTOR 4 ACCEPTING A PLT ESTIMATE THAT WAS OFF BY 3 HRS. THE ZOA ATOP/OCEAN 21 SYS SUBSEQUENTLY RECALCULATED THE GND SPD OF ACFT X PREDICATED ON A FLT TIME BTWN THE PROGRESSED (BEATS) FIX AND ESTIMATED (BRADR) FIX THAT WAS 3 HRS LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR A BIZJET. ACCORDINGLY; ONCE THE OUT OF CONFORMANCE ESTIMATE WAS ACCEPTED BY THE CTLR AND THE BRADR (AT THE ZOA/HNL BOUNDARY) TIME WAS ERRONEOUSLY RECALCULATED; OCEAN 21 DID NOT PASS FLT PLAN INFO TO ZHN PRIOR TO ACFT X ENTERING THEIR AIRSPACE. WHEN ACFT X SHOWED UP IN HNL AIRSPACE WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE WARNING; THE CTLR THERE QUERIED ME ABOUT IT.
