## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE CREW MADE AN ERRONEOUS WAYPOINT INPUT DURING THE FLIGHT

PLANNING PHASE, AND SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED TO FOLLOW ESTABLISHED PROCEDURES DESIGNED TO TRAP THESE

ERRORS. THE ERRONEOUS WAYPOINT CAUSED A GROSS NAVIGATIONAL ERROR WITH A LATERAL DEVIATION OF 30NM

NORTH OF THE CLEARED TRACK. FURTHERMORE, THE CREW APPLIED INCORRECT CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES AFTER

BECOMING AWARE OF THE DEVIATION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
