Narrative

OUR FLT PLAN CALLED FOR THE EAGUL SID; SO THAT IS WHAT I FLEW WITH NO PROBS AT FIRST. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINS; THE CTLR ASKED WHAT WE WERE DOING AND THE FO RPTED US ON THE EAGUL SID. THE CTLR SAID WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE ST JOHNS SID. THE FO CONSULTED THE PDC PRINTOUT AGAIN; AND CONFIRMED THAT WE SHOULD BE ON THE EAGUL SID. THE FO ASKED THE CTLR FOR INSTRUCTIONS; AND WE GOT A VECTOR TO REJOIN THE ST JOHNS SID. THE CTLR SAID HE SHOWED US ABOUT 6 MI OFF THE ST JOHNS SID. AFTER WE CHANGED FREQS AND HAD A SPARE MOMENT; I CHKED THE PDC PRINTOUT AND FOUND THAT WE HAD INDEED BEEN CLRED FOR THE ST JOHNS SID (A CHANGE FROM THE FLT PLAN). THERE WAS NO KNOWN TFC CONFLICT. NORMALLY; I CHK THE PDC BEFORE DEP. THIS FO IS COMPETENT AND WAS SURE OF OUR CLRNC; AND I DID NOT CHK THE PDC BEFORE DEP THIS TIME. IN THE FUTURE; I WILL CERTAINLY CHK THE PDC EARLY AND CAREFULLY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 279385: I MISREAD THE PDC FROM PHX ON THE PDC THE ATC CLRNC AND FLT PLAN WAS LISTED. THE FLT PLAN CALLED FOR US TO FLY THE EAGUL 2 DEP WHICH IS WHAT WE FLEW UNTIL ATC ADVISED US WE WERE OFF COURSE. AFTER THE PROMPT FROM ATC; I RE-READ THE PDC AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE CLRNC WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE FLT PLAN. THE PROB AROSE BY NOT CAREFULLY READING THE PDC AND ALSO THE WAY IN WHICH I CLIP THE PDC UNDER THE DEP SID ON THE YOKE DID NOT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO VERIFY IT EASILY ALTHOUGH THIS WAS THE CREW'S FAULT A HUMAN FACTORS MISTAKE; I WOULD SUGGEST THAT ON THE PDC ONLY THE ACTUAL CLRNC RTE BE REPRESENTED. THE FLT PLAN RTE ON THE PDC IS UNNECESSARY.
