AN ACR A300 FREIGHTER FLC GOT OFF COURSE ON THEIR SID BECAUSE THEY MISREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS SID HAS A SIMILAR GRAPHIC LAYOUT TO ANOTHER SID FROM THIS ARPT AND THE RPTR SAID THAT HE FLIES THE OTHER SID 98% OF THE TIME.

Narrative

PRIOR TO DEP WE REVIEWED THE SID (ARTHUR KILL TWO); BUT BOTH OF US MISSED THE PARK DEP PORTION OF IT -- MISSING THE INTERCEPTING OF THE SBJ 100 DEG RADIAL. SHORTLY AFTER PASSING THROUGH IT WHILE HDG 260 DEGS; ATC ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN IMMEDIATELY TO A HDG OF 310 DEGS WHICH WE DID. WE DON'T BELIEVE THE DEV WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSED A CONFLICT AS A RESULT OF QUICK ACTION BY ATC AND THE FLC. THIS ERROR IN MISREADING THE SID CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE SIMILARITIES BTWN THE ARTHUR KILL TWO AND NEWARK SIX DEPS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THIS A300-600 CAPT SAID THAT HE NORMALLY FLIES THE NEWARK SIX AND HE THOUGHT THAT THE ARTHUR KILL TWO WAS THE SAME PROC WITH A NEW NAME SINCE IT LOOKED THE SAME TO THE CREW. HE SAID THAT HE DID NOT THINK THAT FATIGUE WAS A FACTOR THOUGH THE CREW HAD BEEN ALTERING BTWN DAY OPS ONE WK TO NIGHT OPS THE NEXT WK. HE ADMITTED TO BEING COMPLACENT ABOUT THE DEP PROC SINCE THIS FLT WAS SO ROUTINE FOR HIM LATELY. HE THANKED THE CTLR FOR HIS QUICK CORRECTION HE SAID AND THE CTLR; APPARENTLY; SAID THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THAT THE RPTR SHOULD READ THE WHOLE PROC BEFORE TRYING TO FLY IT.
