A CRJ200 FLT CREW ON THE KENNEDY 9 CANARSIE CLB DEP OUT OF JFK DEVIATED FROM THEIR CLRED TRACK.

Narrative

OUR CLRNC WAS KENNEDY 9 CANARSIE CLB NEION AS FILED; RWY 31L. DURING THE TKOF BRIEF; I BRIEFED THE FO ABOUT THE KENNEDY 9 DEP CANARSIE CLB. I STATED I WOULD HAND FLY WITH THE FLT DIRECTOR IN GREEN DATA; AT 400 FT AGL TURN L DIRECT CANARSIE AND AT CRI; STATION PASSAGE; I WOULD TURN L; INTERCEPT AND FLY OUTBOUND ON THE CRI 176 DEG RADIAL AND CLB TO 5000 FT. ALL RADIOS WERE VERIFIED SET FOR DEP AND I WAS IN GREEN DATA WITH 122.3 IN VOR #1. A VOR CHK HAD BEEN COMPLETED ON JUL/XA/06 (DUAL GND CVG) WITH +/-1 RESULTS. I COMPLETED THE TKOF FROM RWY 31L IN GREEN DATA WITH THE FLT DIRECTOR IN TKOF MODE. SPD MODE WAS SELECTED AFTER TKOF. AT 400 FT AGL; I STARTED A L TURN DIRECT CRI. THE COURSE NEEDLE WAS CTRED TO CRI AND NAV MODE SELECTED. WE TURNED WITHIN 4.0 DME JFK USING A DISTANCE RING ON THE FIX FUNCTION AT THE FMS. WITH WIND CORRECTION I WAS FLYING APPROX 230-235 DEG HDG DIRECT CRI. AS SOON AS VOR #1 WENT INTO 'DR' MODE (WITH DR ON THE FMA); I HELD MY HDG ANTICIPATING STATION PASSAGE AND ASKED THE FO TO DIAL 176 DEG RADIAL ON THE VOR #1 COURSE KNOB. AS THE FO WAS DIALING THE 176 DEG RADIAL; NEW YORK DEP TOLD US TO TURN IMMEDIATELY TO A 180 DEG HDG TO AVOID LGA AIRSPACE. VOR #1 WAS STILL INDICATING TO CRI BUT I TURNED IMMEDIATELY TO A 180 DEG HDG AS INSTRUCTED. DEP THEN ASKED WHAT DEP WE WERE GIVEN. THE FO RESPONDED KENNEDY 9 CANARSIE CLB. DEP THEN GAVE US A TURN TO 090 DEGS. WE WERE HANDED OFF TO THE NEXT DEP CTLR AND RECEIVED 1 OR 2 MORE VECTORS TOWARDS THE N; THEN CLRED DIRECT NEION ON COURSE TO BUF. WHILE ON VECTORS AND BEFORE WE WERE CLRED DIRECT NEION; THE FO AND I BOTH AGAIN VERIFIED VOR #1 WAS SET CORRECTLY AND OPERATIONAL AND CRI WAS IN THE DME IDENT. AFTER THE EVENT IT SEEMED VOR #1 WAS LATE TO INDICATE STATION PASSAGE. IN THE FUTURE; I WILL ENSURE THE CLB CHKLIST DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH BOTH PLTS MONITORING THE NAV AND INCLUDE THAT IN MY TKOF BRIEF. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 705503: WE RECEIVED KENNEDY 9 DEP WITH THE CANARSIE CLB. WE DEPARTED JFK AFTER BRIEFING THE DEP PROC AND VERIFYING THE CRI VOR WAS ON THE CAPT'S SIDE AND THE CAPT WAS IN GREEN DATA. WE DEPARTED BEHIND A HVY B767; CORRECTLY TURNED TOWARD CANARSIE VOR WITHIN 4.5 DME OF JFK PER THE PROC. I VISUALLY VERIFIED HIS TURN AND TRACKING TOWARD THE VOR AND THEN BECAME INVOLVED WITH CLB; CHK PROCS AND RADIO SWITCHING. THEN THE CAPT REQUESTED HIS VOR BE TUNED TO 176 DEG RADIAL OUTBOUND ON CRI VOR AND AT THIS POINT I TURNED HIS COURSE SELECT SWITCH TO THE 176 DEG RADIAL OUTBOUND. DEP ASKED FOR AN IMMEDIATE 180 DEG TURN. WE COMPLIED IMMEDIATELY. WE WERE THEN TOLD TO FLY A 090 DEG HDG AND CONTINUED ON COURSE AFTER THAT. I BELIEVE WE MAY HAVE TURNED TO THE 176 DEG HDG A FEW SECONDS LATE. THE CAPT SAID HE CAREFULLY FLEW THE PROC BUT WAS WAITING FOR VOR STATION PASSAGE BEFORE TURNING AND WAS SURPRISED WHEN ATC GAVE US THE 'IMMEDIATE 180 DEG TURN.' I'M UNSURE IF WE WERE OFF MUCH IN OUR NAV. THIS WAS A HIGH WORKLOAD PERIOD RIGHT AFTER TKOF WITH A SOMEWHAT COMPLEX DEP PROC. IN RETROSPECT; I SHOULD HAVE VISUALLY MONITORED THE CAPT'S FLYING OF THE DEP PROC MORE CAREFULLY INSTEAD OF BECOMING DISTR WITH THE CLB CHK AND RADIO TUNING.
