Narrative:

When climbing out of sln, we were cleared for ilc. When turning direct, we continued beyond a heading of 270 degrees, for direct to the VOR, and rolled out on 249 degrees. This is due to the fact that navigation #1 wasn't receiving hlc, but instead another VOR on same frequency. While identing the station, we realized the error and were correcting when we were vectored north away from airspace, yet we still clipped the corner. The reliance on ATC radar was a contributing factor as the heading flown was assumed to be observed and okay until we could get a clear identify. Inaction on the captain's part to verify our heading while identing the station was also a contributing factor.

Narrative: WHEN CLBING OUT OF SLN, WE WERE CLRED FOR ILC. WHEN TURNING DIRECT, WE CONTINUED BEYOND A HDG OF 270 DEGS, FOR DIRECT TO THE VOR, AND ROLLED OUT ON 249 DEGS. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT NAV #1 WASN'T RECEIVING HLC, BUT INSTEAD ANOTHER VOR ON SAME FREQ. WHILE IDENTING THE STATION, WE REALIZED THE ERROR AND WERE CORRECTING WHEN WE WERE VECTORED N AWAY FROM AIRSPACE, YET WE STILL CLIPPED THE CORNER. THE RELIANCE ON ATC RADAR WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR AS THE HDG FLOWN WAS ASSUMED TO BE OBSERVED AND OKAY UNTIL WE COULD GET A CLR IDENT. INACTION ON THE CAPT'S PART TO VERIFY OUR HDG WHILE IDENTING THE STATION WAS ALSO A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
