Narrative:
We were cleared for an ILS runway 8L atl. We both tuned in runway 9R ILS frequency. We over shot runway 8L and were almost intercepting runway 9R, the tower asked if everything was ok, then I realized what the problem was. We then tuned the correct frequency's and completed the approach. I believe we looked at the wrong page because they are face to face in the navigation manual and for some reason it was easier to read the one on the right. The eyes just focused on the wrong page.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR LGT STARTED INTERCEPT OF THE WRONG ILS BECAUSE THE FLT CREW HAD TUNED IN THE WRONG FREQ.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED FOR AN ILS RWY 8L ATL. WE BOTH TUNED IN RWY 9R ILS FREQ. WE OVER SHOT RWY 8L AND WERE ALMOST INTERCEPTING RWY 9R, THE TWR ASKED IF EVERYTHING WAS OK, THEN I REALIZED WHAT THE PROB WAS. WE THEN TUNED THE CORRECT FREQ'S AND COMPLETED THE APCH. I BELIEVE WE LOOKED AT THE WRONG PAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE FACE TO FACE IN THE NAV MANUAL AND FOR SOME REASON IT WAS EASIER TO READ THE ONE ON THE R. THE EYES JUST FOCUSED ON THE WRONG PAGE.
