DC10 FLT CREW HAS A TRACK DEV DURING THE CIVET 5 ARR TO LAX.

Narrative

WE WERE APCHING PGS VOR FOR THE CIVET FIVE ARR INTO LAX WHEN WE GOT DISTR BY A GENERATOR FAIL LIGHT. WE ACCOMPLISHED OUR QRH PROC AND DISCONNECTED THE GENERATOR. AT THAT TIME I QUICKLY BRIEFED THE CHART STAR CIVET FIVE. THE PLATE SHOWS A PGS 248 DEG HDG FROM RUSTT INTXN WHICH I MISINTERPED AS THE PGS OUTBOUND COURSE. PASSING PGS I SET THE OUTBOUND COURSE AS 248 DEGS. THIS WAS INCORRECT AS SHOWN ON THE STAR CIVET FIVE TRANSITION PAGE. IN OUR RUSH TO GET CAUGHT BACK UP FOR THE ARR WE DID NOT COVER THE TRANSITION PROPERLY AND WERE QUERIED BY ZLA WHAT OUR PGS OUTBOUND COURSE WAS. THEY GAVE US THE CORRECT COURSE OF 229 DEGS TO RUSTT WHICH WE CONFIRMED ON OUR FLT PLAN AND WE PROCEEDED INBOUND TO LAX WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. LESSONS LEARNED AND DEBRIEFED WITH THE CREW: FOLLOW ALL FLT PLAN HDGS UNTIL ESTABLISHED ON A PORTION OF THE ARR; REVIEW ALL APPLICABLE CHART PLATES SINCE SOME ARR INFO IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM SEPARATE PAGES; AND WHEN OPERATING A NON-INS EQUIPPED ACFT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT BOTH PLTS MONITOR ALL FLT GUIDANCE NAV INPUTS.
