Narrative:

Flight from orf to clt. Our route of flight was orf-fkn-rdu-majic 2- clt. I (first officer) was flying the aircraft and after rdu flew outbnd on the rdu 181 degree right instead of the runway 269 degree right. ZDC called and verified that we were going to clt and immediately I realized what I had done. We had gone only about 16 DME from rdu. ZDC then issued us a turn to get back on course. What I had done was taken the information from the roa transition rather than from the rdu transition.

ZDC CALLED AND VERIFIED THAT WE WERE GOING TO CLT AND IMMEDIATELY I REALIZED WHAT I HAD DONE. WE HAD GONE ONLY ABOUT 16 DME FROM RDU. ZDC THEN ISSUED US A TURN TO GET BACK ON COURSE.
