Narrative:

During the pushback/taxi out phase, our departure clearance changed from minneapolis 6 departure to the snine one departure. The FMS was re-programmed by captain. The first fix snine was verified by myself in conjunction with all the taxi and before takeoff checks I was also responsible for during this phase of aircraft movement. I would complete the verification process of the flight plan route once airborne. Upon completion of my climb check, 10000 ft check, and talking to the passenger, which indicated a non sterile cockpit, I finished the verification. This was almost simultaneous with crossing snine intersection. I noticed we were headed for green bay VOR instead of geeze intersection. I told the captain and just then ZMP verified our route of flight. The captain admitted that geeze was not programmed in the FMS and he was willing to correct it immediately. However, center cleared us direct to green bay. There was no conflict with another aircraft.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: CL65 ACFT IN CLB, ON SID, DEVIATED FROM THE SID DUE TO MISPROGRAMMED FMC. CTLR INTERVENED AND GAVE A DIRECT CLRNC.

Narrative: DURING THE PUSHBACK/TAXI OUT PHASE, OUR DEP CLRNC CHANGED FROM MINNEAPOLIS 6 DEP TO THE SNINE ONE DEP. THE FMS WAS RE-PROGRAMMED BY CAPT. THE FIRST FIX SNINE WAS VERIFIED BY MYSELF IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALL THE TAXI AND BEFORE TKOF CHKS I WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR DURING THIS PHASE OF ACFT MOVEMENT. I WOULD COMPLETE THE VERIFICATION PROCESS OF THE FLT PLAN RTE ONCE AIRBORNE. UPON COMPLETION OF MY CLB CHK, 10000 FT CHK, AND TALKING TO THE PAX, WHICH INDICATED A NON STERILE COCKPIT, I FINISHED THE VERIFICATION. THIS WAS ALMOST SIMULTANEOUS WITH XING SNINE INTXN. I NOTICED WE WERE HEADED FOR GREEN BAY VOR INSTEAD OF GEEZE INTXN. I TOLD THE CAPT AND JUST THEN ZMP VERIFIED OUR RTE OF FLT. THE CAPT ADMITTED THAT GEEZE WAS NOT PROGRAMMED IN THE FMS AND HE WAS WILLING TO CORRECT IT IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, CTR CLRED US DIRECT TO GREEN BAY. THERE WAS NO CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER ACFT.
