<< >> NASA ASRS Report 324100, December 1995

Departure SID not properly programmed into FMC and after takeoff, when realizing they had to intercept the 223 degree radial from cri, reporter captain set the radial in manually. The distraction to manually select the VOR radial set up flight crew for climbing through the assigned altitude.

Narrative:

Shortly after takeoff jfk runway 31L, proceeding direct to cri (aircraft B767-er) we were given left turn to 220 degrees to intercept cri/223 degree radial. I set the VOR for cri and 223 degree radial and climbed through our assigned altitude of 7000 ft to 7600 ft and immediately returned to 7000 ft. No traffic conflicts were observed or reported. I was not familiar with this departure and had not programmed the 223 degree radial from cri of the departure and consequently had to set that radial in manually to the VOR and with that distraction (and the climb performance of the B767-er) missed the altitude.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: DEP SID NOT PROPERLY PROGRAMMED INTO FMC AND AFTER TKOF, WHEN REALIZING THEY HAD TO INTERCEPT THE 223 DEG RADIAL FROM CRI, RPTR CAPT SET THE RADIAL IN MANUALLY. THE DISTR TO MANUALLY SELECT THE VOR RADIAL SET UP FLC FOR CLBING THROUGH THE ASSIGNED ALT.

Narrative: SHORTLY AFTER TKOF JFK RWY 31L, PROCEEDING DIRECT TO CRI (ACFT B767-ER) WE WERE GIVEN L TURN TO 220 DEGS TO INTERCEPT CRI/223 DEG RADIAL. I SET THE VOR FOR CRI AND 223 DEG RADIAL AND CLBED THROUGH OUR ASSIGNED ALT OF 7000 FT TO 7600 FT AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO 7000 FT. NO TFC CONFLICTS WERE OBSERVED OR RPTED. I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS DEP AND HAD NOT PROGRAMMED THE 223 DEG RADIAL FROM CRI OF THE DEP AND CONSEQUENTLY HAD TO SET THAT RADIAL IN MANUALLY TO THE VOR AND WITH THAT DISTR (AND THE CLB PERFORMANCE OF THE B767-ER) MISSED THE ALT.
