Narrative:

On the evening of nov/92, I was the first officer of flight. This flight is normally flown by the small transport type a, however, the type a scheduled for this flight had a mechanical and we were dispatched to cover the flight with the type B. The flight plan from jax to mco for the type a is jax omn blitho 6 mco. The flight plan for the type B is jax crg V267 orl mco. When putting our clearance on request with jax clearance for jax to mco, the captain advised of the equipment change. The clearance we received was þcompany identify cleared to mco as filedþ. In cruise flight at 10000 ft MSL and approximately 20 NM south of crg on V267, our position/navigation was questioned by center. Control was still using the type a route which by their observation, placed us off course. We explained the situation about the equipment change and they (center) seemed satisfied. I felt it necessary to inform you of this hazardous situation. When this situation arises, and it often does, we as the pilots urge and even try to direct our dispatch to refile the proper flight plan. To date we are still experiencing a problem. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
