Narrative:

We were on the sinca 1 arrival en route to atl. We were cleared to navigation direct to canuk intersection and cross canuk intersection at 11000 ft. To proceed direct from our present position, I idented canuk intersection by using the 128 degree radial off atl and the 209 degree radial off ahn vors. However, I dialed in the wrong radial off ahn by a few degrees so we wound up crossing about 3 or 4 mi northwest of canuk intersection at 11000 ft. As far as I know, there was no traffic conflict, the controller never said anything.

Title: A NAV ERROR LED TO A FLC'S NON COMPLIANCE WITH A XING RESTR.

Narrative: WE WERE ON THE SINCA 1 ARR ENRTE TO ATL. WE WERE CLRED TO NAV DIRECT TO CANUK INTXN AND CROSS CANUK INTXN AT 11000 FT. TO PROCEED DIRECT FROM OUR PRESENT POS, I IDENTED CANUK INTXN BY USING THE 128 DEG RADIAL OFF ATL AND THE 209 DEG RADIAL OFF AHN VORS. HOWEVER, I DIALED IN THE WRONG RADIAL OFF AHN BY A FEW DEGS SO WE WOUND UP XING ABOUT 3 OR 4 MI NW OF CANUK INTXN AT 11000 FT. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE WAS NO TFC CONFLICT, THE CTLR NEVER SAID ANYTHING.
