Narrative:
Navigation deviation. ATC frequency: mia. ATC facility: center. Location: virginial key 008/40. Cleared to intercept the heat arrival into mia and I set in the 008 degree radial instead of the 018 degree radial by mistake. ATC facility: mia approach. Location: north of mia airport. On departure from mia, clearance was to fly a heading to intercept the hedly transition. By mistake we had dialed in the dolhpin VOR rather than the VOR to identify the hedly transition. ATC noticed the error and gave us direct mco. No conflict occurred.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: FLC OF A B727 SET IN THE WRONG VOR RADIAL FOR ARR STAR CAUSING THE ACFT TO BE 10 DEGS OFF TRACK. SUBSEQUENTLY ON DEP SID, THE WRONG VOR FREQ WAS SET IN CAUSING ATC INTERVENTION AND ISSUANCE OF A NEW CLRNC TO THEIR DEST.
Narrative: NAV DEV. ATC FREQ: MIA. ATC FACILITY: CTR. LOCATION: VIRGINIAL KEY 008/40. CLRED TO INTERCEPT THE HEAT ARR INTO MIA AND I SET IN THE 008 DEG RADIAL INSTEAD OF THE 018 DEG RADIAL BY MISTAKE. ATC FACILITY: MIA APCH. LOCATION: N OF MIA ARPT. ON DEP FROM MIA, CLRNC WAS TO FLY A HDG TO INTERCEPT THE HEDLY TRANSITION. BY MISTAKE WE HAD DIALED IN THE DOLHPIN VOR RATHER THAN THE VOR TO IDENT THE HEDLY TRANSITION. ATC NOTICED THE ERROR AND GAVE US DIRECT MCO. NO CONFLICT OCCURRED.
