Narrative:

When cleared for the VOR runway 13L to jfk, we were provided a vector to intercept the 223 degree radial (inbound course for the approach) off the canarsie VOR. Clearance was read back. Both navigation radios in the aircraft were improperly set to jfk VOR. As a result, we intercepted and tracked the incorrect inbound radial for the approach. Problem was corrected shortly after the intercept, and a new vector was given by ny approach to the correct inbound course for the VOR approach.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: BAE4100 MAKES NAV ERROR IN JFK AIRSPACE WHEN THE FLC TUNED IN JFK INSTEAD OF CRI VOR.

Narrative: WHEN CLRED FOR THE VOR RWY 13L TO JFK, WE WERE PROVIDED A VECTOR TO INTERCEPT THE 223 DEG RADIAL (INBOUND COURSE FOR THE APCH) OFF THE CANARSIE VOR. CLRNC WAS READ BACK. BOTH NAV RADIOS IN THE ACFT WERE IMPROPERLY SET TO JFK VOR. AS A RESULT, WE INTERCEPTED AND TRACKED THE INCORRECT INBOUND RADIAL FOR THE APCH. PROB WAS CORRECTED SHORTLY AFTER THE INTERCEPT, AND A NEW VECTOR WAS GIVEN BY NY APCH TO THE CORRECT INBOUND COURSE FOR THE VOR APCH.
