The reporter involved in non-flying duties missed the error programmed into the GPS. The reporter suggests special scan training along with CRM that would assure primary requirements for guiding the aircraft are attended to.

Narrative:
Just passing djb VOR on junkr 1 arrival using GPS. Junkr intersection was either not programmed or missed because instead of autoplt/GPS navigation going to junkr intersection, we went direct to ptk. I was executing descent checklist and calling FBO at ptk (destination). PIC caught discrepancy and reprogrammed GPS to navigation to junkr intersection. No conflict, nothing said by center. I believe that the role of distrs or non-flying duties should be emphasized in 'CRM PNF awareness sits.' to use an effective instrument scan as an example: PNF should have a 'duties scan,' 'responsibility scan,' etc. No matter what other related duties you have, proper situational awareness demands you constantly ask yourself 'is the important stuff being done correctly?' don't assume anything.

Narrative: JUST PASSING DJB VOR ON JUNKR 1 ARR USING GPS. JUNKR INTXN WAS EITHER NOT PROGRAMMED OR MISSED BECAUSE INSTEAD OF AUTOPLT/GPS NAV GOING TO JUNKR INTXN, WE WENT DIRECT TO PTK. I WAS EXECUTING DSCNT CHKLIST AND CALLING FBO AT PTK (DEST). PIC CAUGHT DISCREPANCY AND REPROGRAMMED GPS TO NAV TO JUNKR INTXN. NO CONFLICT, NOTHING SAID BY CTR. I BELIEVE THAT THE ROLE OF DISTRS OR NON-FLYING DUTIES SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED IN 'CRM PNF AWARENESS SITS.' TO USE AN EFFECTIVE INST SCAN AS AN EXAMPLE: PNF SHOULD HAVE A 'DUTIES SCAN,' 'RESPONSIBILITY SCAN,' ETC. NO MATTER WHAT OTHER RELATED DUTIES YOU HAVE, PROPER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS DEMANDS YOU CONSTANTLY ASK YOURSELF 'IS THE IMPORTANT STUFF BEING DONE CORRECTLY?' DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING.
