ACR FLC GIVEN CLRNC TO INTERCEPT KIMMO1 ARR PMD TRANSITION; OVERSHOT THE TRANSITION RADIAL OFF PMD. FLC FATIGUE MAJOR FACTOR.

Narrative

ON JAN/SUN/94; MY FO AND I WERE SENT BY THE COMPANY TO INYOKERN TO COVER A FLT FOR AN AIRPLANE GNDED BY A MECHANICAL PROB. THIS WAS NOT PART OF OUR NORMAL SCHEDULE; AND IT HAD BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I HAD FLOWN TO OR FROM INYOKERN. MY FO HAD NEVER BEEN THERE. UPON LEAVING THE MOA ENRTE BACK TO LAX WE WERE ISSUED THE FOLLOWING CLRNC. 'ACR FLT; CLRED TO LAX; FLY HDG 170 TO INTERCEPT THE KIMMO1 ARR; PALMDALE TRANSITION; MAINTAIN 8000 FT.' GIVEN MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH THE SIT IT WAS PERFECTLY CLR TO ME THAT JOSHUA APCH INTENDED FOR US TO FLY THE 170 DEG HDG; INTERCEPT THE PALMDALE TRANSITION (139 DEG RADIAL); AND CONTINUE THE ARR. HOWEVER; THE 170 DEG HDG TOOK US TO A POINT WHERE WE INTERCEPTED THE PMD 218 DEG RADIAL AT THIS INTXN WITH THE LHS 146 DEG RADIAL. THAT PUT US TO THE W OF THE ENTIRE TRANSITION. WE WERE SWITCHED TO BUR APCH. THEY QUESTIONED WHERE WE WERE GOING AND TURNED US TO THE E TO REJOIN THE KIMMO1 (LHS 139 DEG). THEY ASKED US TO STATE OUR POS RELATIVE TO LHS. WE ANSWERED THE 146 DEG RADIAL. THEY INFORMED US WE WERE OFF COURSE. I INFORMED THEM THAT JOSHUA APCH HAD ISSUED TO US A HDG AND CLRNC THAT WAS MISLEADING. BUR SUGGESTED THAT WE FILE THIS NASA RPT. THERE WAS NO TFC CONFLICT. THERE ARE MANY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS LEADING TO THIS INCIDENT: 1) THE 170 DEG HDG AND CLRNC BY JOSHUA APCH WAS INACCURATE AND MISLEADING. 2) MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH THE SIT; COMBINED WITH MY FO'S LACK THEREOF; SET THE STAGE FOR MISINTERPRETATION. 3) WE WERE AT THE TIME 11 1/2 HRS INTO A 13 1/2 SCHEDULED DUTY HR SHIFT. THAT INCLUDED 12 LEGS. OUR ABILITIES TO IDENT THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS SIT IN ADVANCE WERE UNQUESTIONABLY AFFECTED BY FATIGUE.
