Narrative:
During preflight, I programmed the FMC for the hoover 1 departure SID per the flight plan. Unfortunately, I failed to note the revised segment on the ACARS clearance that reclred us for the WYLDD1-gup departure SID. Shortly after takeoff, departure control cleared us for a left turn direct hitme intersection. When we replied that we were on the hoover departure SID, the controller reclred us for a left turn to a 120 degree heading. In attempting to determine contributing factors, I suspect that several factors may have played a role leading to my mistake. First, there was some confusion regarding the proper screening of a passenger's bag. Secondly, there was an FMC route error at the bavpe intersection that took some time to sort out, and finally, we had a jumpseater come up to the cockpit shortly before departure. Obviously, my failure to xchk the ACARS clearance was the root cause of our error.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: WRONG DEP LOADED AND FLOWN FROM LAS, NV.
Narrative: DURING PREFLT, I PROGRAMMED THE FMC FOR THE HOOVER 1 DEP SID PER THE FLT PLAN. UNFORTUNATELY, I FAILED TO NOTE THE REVISED SEGMENT ON THE ACARS CLRNC THAT RECLRED US FOR THE WYLDD1-GUP DEP SID. SHORTLY AFTER TKOF, DEP CTL CLRED US FOR A L TURN DIRECT HITME INTXN. WHEN WE REPLIED THAT WE WERE ON THE HOOVER DEP SID, THE CTLR RECLRED US FOR A L TURN TO A 120 DEG HDG. IN ATTEMPTING TO DETERMINE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS, I SUSPECT THAT SEVERAL FACTORS MAY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE LEADING TO MY MISTAKE. FIRST, THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION REGARDING THE PROPER SCREENING OF A PAX'S BAG. SECONDLY, THERE WAS AN FMC RTE ERROR AT THE BAVPE INTXN THAT TOOK SOME TIME TO SORT OUT, AND FINALLY, WE HAD A JUMPSEATER COME UP TO THE COCKPIT SHORTLY BEFORE DEP. OBVIOUSLY, MY FAILURE TO XCHK THE ACARS CLRNC WAS THE ROOT CAUSE OF OUR ERROR.
