ALTDEV EXCURSION FROM ASSIGNED. WRONG SID USED IN USE OF PDC PROCS. ACFT UNABLE TO ESTABLISH RADIO CONTACT WITH DEP CTL.

Narrative

FLEW INBOUND OVERNIGHT; CREWS PDC OUTBOUND. WE WERE GIVEN A 30 MIN RPT; BECAUSE OF SHORT LAYOVER NIGHT BEFORE. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OPS COMPUTERS AND PAPERWORK WERE MESSED UP. AS CREW WENT TO ACFT WE WERE ALREADY FEELING RUSHED. I DID MY PREFLT AND THEN STARTED MY COCKPIT SETUP. I SAW THE PDC CLRNC LAYING ON THE PEDESTAL AND ASSUMED CAPT HAD OBTAINED IT. THE FIRST MISTAKE. I CHKED IT FOR ALT AND ROUTING; BUT ONLY LOOKED FOR O'NEIL VOR; WHICH WAS ON OUR ROUTING. (AS BAD LUCK WOULD HAVE IT; WE WERE GOING TO DENVER; INBOUND CREW; FROM NIGHT BEFORE; HAD COME FROM DENVER). THE CAPT ALSO CHKED THE PDC AND STATED LATER; THAT HE ASSUMED I HAD OBTAINED IT. NEITHER ONE OF US EVER CHKED IT FOR FLT NUMBER OR DATE. I EVEN CHKED THE SID PAGE FOR ALT AND RADIO FREQS; BUT MY HEAD WAS SO UP AND LOCKED; I STILL DIDN'T GET OR PICK UP ON THE OBVIOUS CLUES TO HELP ME SORT IT ALL OUT. OFF WE WENT; WBOUND; RWY HDG WITH 10000 FT IN THE ALT WINDOW INSTEAD OF 5000 FT AS WAS PRINTED ON SID. WE OF COURSE COULDN'T GET DEP CTL BECAUSE WE HAD THE WRONG RADIO FREQ SET UP AND WRONG XPONDER CODE. WHEN WE GOT IT SORTED OUT WE WERE OUT OF 7300 FT HEADED FOR 10000 FT. MSP IMMEDIATELY CLRED US TO 17000 FT AND OF COURSE ASKED US TO CALL THEM WHEN WE GOT TO DENVER. THERE IS A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROB; BUT MANY SUBTLE MATTERS GOT US INTO THE BOX. OUR COMPANY SOP'S REQUIRE US; BOTH PLTS INDIVIDUALLY; TO CHK ALL OF THE PDC OR BOTH LISTEN TO A RADIO CLRNC. AS AN ADDITIONAL BACK UP I BELIEVE OUR COMPANY SHOULD ADD AT THE END OF OUR BLOCKS CHKLIST A REQUIREMENT TO REMOVE ALL PAPERWORK FROM COCKPIT AND TRASH IT! OTHER THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SIT FOR ME: 1) BEING RUSHED; 2) BEING TIRED; SHORT LAYOVER COMBINED WITH NOISE; POOR NIGHT'S SLEEP; 3) PERSONAL MATTERS ON MY MIND; MY MOTHER'S HEALTH; AND 4) I HAD BEEN ON A DIET FOR OVER A MONTH AND POSSIBLY IMPROPER NUTRITION; WHILE FLYING. IN ANY CASE NO PROFESSIONAL PLT WOULD END UP DOING THIS WITHOUT SEVERAL VERY UNUSUAL FACTORS WORKING AGAINST THEM. MURPHY WON THIS ROUND!!
