Narrative:
First officer programmed FMS per flight plan. Pre departure clearance had a change from ffu direct dta to ffu 3, dta transition. This was entered into FMS. Upon reaching ffu, the aircraft (via FMS inputs) proceeded direct dta. About 12 mi south of ffu, ATC asked what our heading was. We realized only then that we were headed directly to dta (about 190 degree heading) instead of out the ffu 170 degree radial. We then asked ATC if he wanted us to turn left to join the ffu 170 degree radial. He said no, that he was about to clear us direct oal. No traffic conflict was ever indicated on TCASII. Shortly thereafter we were cleared direct oal with no further difficulties.

Title: A B737 FLC CLAIMS THAT THEY PLANNED THE FFU 3 SID IN THEIR FMC. THE FMC FLEW THE ACFT DIRECT DTA. ERROR ADMITTED.
Narrative: FO PROGRAMMED FMS PER FLT PLAN. PDC HAD A CHANGE FROM FFU DIRECT DTA TO FFU 3, DTA TRANSITION. THIS WAS ENTERED INTO FMS. UPON REACHING FFU, THE ACFT (VIA FMS INPUTS) PROCEEDED DIRECT DTA. ABOUT 12 MI S OF FFU, ATC ASKED WHAT OUR HDG WAS. WE REALIZED ONLY THEN THAT WE WERE HEADED DIRECTLY TO DTA (ABOUT 190 DEG HDG) INSTEAD OF OUT THE FFU 170 DEG RADIAL. WE THEN ASKED ATC IF HE WANTED US TO TURN L TO JOIN THE FFU 170 DEG RADIAL. HE SAID NO, THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO CLR US DIRECT OAL. NO TFC CONFLICT WAS EVER INDICATED ON TCASII. SHORTLY THEREAFTER WE WERE CLRED DIRECT OAL WITH NO FURTHER DIFFICULTIES.
