Narrative:

For our early morning departure from bgr, the captain programmed our FMS with the company 'canned' route. We received our clearance on the ground as 'as filed.' shortly after receiving clearance, a maintenance item which was unrelated was deferred over the phone with the company, which delayed the flight nearly 1 hour, and resulted in a new dispatch release. After this was taken care of, we boarded, and departed. After departure, we were given a heading to intercept J49. We did not notice that J49 was not part of our FMS programmed, 'canned route,' but was actually what we were filed and cleared for. Upon handoff to ZBW, he asked us if we were intercepting J49, which we responded in the affirmative, since the airplane was capturing the programmed radial, which unbeknownst to us at that time was J80. His query did raise my curiosity and I did look at our paper clearance, and then looked at the FMS and realized they were different. When I questioned the captain, he realized that the canned route was different than what we were filed or cleared for, and we were on the wrong airway. He then told me to ask ATC for a heading so we could get in the right direction. The controller then asked if we were on J80, which we said yes, and he told us that was not the correct route, and shortly thereafter he gave us our correct clearance, which was what we had on paper. The captain then programmed the FMS to the correct route and the rest of the flight proceeded without incident. I believe some contributing factors were: the captain not checking the FMS after programming it to our paper clearance, and a lack of initiative on my part to check his work. It was a very early flight, with a scheduled XB30 am departure. After getting picked up from the hotel at XA45 am and the flight delaying for 1 hour, I do believe that fatigue and a lack of anything available to eat may have caused us to miss this item. This in conjunction with the mechanical problem that the captain was heavily involved in, could have caused some oversight.

Title: CL65 CREW HAD TRACK DEV IN ZBW CLASS E.

Narrative: FOR OUR EARLY MORNING DEP FROM BGR, THE CAPT PROGRAMMED OUR FMS WITH THE COMPANY 'CANNED' RTE. WE RECEIVED OUR CLRNC ON THE GND AS 'AS FILED.' SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING CLRNC, A MAINT ITEM WHICH WAS UNRELATED WAS DEFERRED OVER THE PHONE WITH THE COMPANY, WHICH DELAYED THE FLT NEARLY 1 HR, AND RESULTED IN A NEW DISPATCH RELEASE. AFTER THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF, WE BOARDED, AND DEPARTED. AFTER DEP, WE WERE GIVEN A HEADING TO INTERCEPT J49. WE DID NOT NOTICE THAT J49 WAS NOT PART OF OUR FMS PROGRAMMED, 'CANNED RTE,' BUT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT WE WERE FILED AND CLRED FOR. UPON HDOF TO ZBW, HE ASKED US IF WE WERE INTERCEPTING J49, WHICH WE RESPONDED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, SINCE THE AIRPLANE WAS CAPTURING THE PROGRAMMED RADIAL, WHICH UNBEKNOWNST TO US AT THAT TIME WAS J80. HIS QUERY DID RAISE MY CURIOSITY AND I DID LOOK AT OUR PAPER CLRNC, AND THEN LOOKED AT THE FMS AND REALIZED THEY WERE DIFFERENT. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE CAPT, HE REALIZED THAT THE CANNED RTE WAS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE WERE FILED OR CLRED FOR, AND WE WERE ON THE WRONG AIRWAY. HE THEN TOLD ME TO ASK ATC FOR A HEADING SO WE COULD GET IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE CTLR THEN ASKED IF WE WERE ON J80, WHICH WE SAID YES, AND HE TOLD US THAT WAS NOT THE CORRECT RTE, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER HE GAVE US OUR CORRECT CLRNC, WHICH WAS WHAT WE HAD ON PAPER. THE CAPT THEN PROGRAMMED THE FMS TO THE CORRECT RTE AND THE REST OF THE FLT PROCEEDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. I BELIEVE SOME CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE: THE CAPT NOT CHKING THE FMS AFTER PROGRAMMING IT TO OUR PAPER CLRNC, AND A LACK OF INITIATIVE ON MY PART TO CHK HIS WORK. IT WAS A VERY EARLY FLT, WITH A SCHEDULED XB30 AM DEP. AFTER GETTING PICKED UP FROM THE HOTEL AT XA45 AM AND THE FLT DELAYING FOR 1 HR, I DO BELIEVE THAT FATIGUE AND A LACK OF ANYTHING AVAILABLE TO EAT MAY HAVE CAUSED US TO MISS THIS ITEM. THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MECHANICAL PROB THAT THE CAPT WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN, COULD HAVE CAUSED SOME OVERSIGHT.
