Narrative:

On scheduled flight from lax to yum (lax, sli, V64, trm, V137, ipl, V458, bza, yum) I missed the turn at wiste intersection (31 NM DME 109 degree radial from trm) by 10 NM. I actually began the turn at 41 DME. This is not a good place to miss a turn because it is very near R-2507S plus abel MOA. In fact we entered the MOA by several mi. ATC never advised us we were off course. As soon as I recognized my error, I turned back and joined the airway. No cautions or advisories were ever given by ATC. It was as if they never noticed the error.

Narrative: ON SCHEDULED FLT FROM LAX TO YUM (LAX, SLI, V64, TRM, V137, IPL, V458, BZA, YUM) I MISSED THE TURN AT WISTE INTXN (31 NM DME 109 DEG RADIAL FROM TRM) BY 10 NM. I ACTUALLY BEGAN THE TURN AT 41 DME. THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO MISS A TURN BECAUSE IT IS VERY NEAR R-2507S PLUS ABEL MOA. IN FACT WE ENTERED THE MOA BY SEVERAL MI. ATC NEVER ADVISED US WE WERE OFF COURSE. AS SOON AS I RECOGNIZED MY ERROR, I TURNED BACK AND JOINED THE AIRWAY. NO CAUTIONS OR ADVISORIES WERE EVER GIVEN BY ATC.
