Narrative:

I had been junior assigned as captain of flight from rno to sea. I met the incoming flight and discussed the status of the aircraft with the departing captain. I entered the cabin and introduced myself to the first officer. He had already completed his cockpit setup and received the IFR clearance. I performed my cockpit duties and we completed the checklist prior to pushback. My first officer informed me of the departure SID (mustang 4 departure as filed which departs fmg VOR on J5 to lkv VOR). It was the first officer's leg, so I monitored and assisted him as he flew the departure. Upon reaching the first departure fix, I informed the first officer of the VOR bearing to lkv from fmg VOR. We set the bearing and proceeded up J5 airway on climb out. While climbing, ZOB asked us if we were going to lmt VOR. I told ZOA we were proceeding on J5 to lkv as we were flight planned. He then asked how rno had cleared us. I then asked the first officer who checked his written clearance and he told me we were supposed to be on J92 to lmt. I informed center and asked if he wanted us to proceed on J92 to lmt and he reclred us to lkv on J5. I think after receiving a clearance it is important that the crew member give the other crew member a more detailed briefing of the entire clearance including the SID and airways to be flown and not just a SID and as filed. This procedure put the other pilot that is being briefed an opportunity to determine if the flight is going to be flying a different route other than the route that was filed.

Title: MLG FLC TAKES WRONG AIRWAY ON DEP. ATC QUESTIONS THEIR RTE AND DISCOVERS ERROR BUT THEN CLRS THEM ON CURRENT RTE.

Narrative: I HAD BEEN JUNIOR ASSIGNED AS CAPT OF FLT FROM RNO TO SEA. I MET THE INCOMING FLT AND DISCUSSED THE STATUS OF THE ACFT WITH THE DEPARTING CAPT. I ENTERED THE CABIN AND INTRODUCED MYSELF TO THE FO. HE HAD ALREADY COMPLETED HIS COCKPIT SETUP AND RECEIVED THE IFR CLRNC. I PERFORMED MY COCKPIT DUTIES AND WE COMPLETED THE CHKLIST PRIOR TO PUSHBACK. MY FO INFORMED ME OF THE DEP SID (MUSTANG 4 DEP AS FILED WHICH DEPARTS FMG VOR ON J5 TO LKV VOR). IT WAS THE FO'S LEG, SO I MONITORED AND ASSISTED HIM AS HE FLEW THE DEP. UPON REACHING THE FIRST DEP FIX, I INFORMED THE FO OF THE VOR BEARING TO LKV FROM FMG VOR. WE SET THE BEARING AND PROCEEDED UP J5 AIRWAY ON CLB OUT. WHILE CLBING, ZOB ASKED US IF WE WERE GOING TO LMT VOR. I TOLD ZOA WE WERE PROCEEDING ON J5 TO LKV AS WE WERE FLT PLANNED. HE THEN ASKED HOW RNO HAD CLRED US. I THEN ASKED THE FO WHO CHKED HIS WRITTEN CLRNC AND HE TOLD ME WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON J92 TO LMT. I INFORMED CTR AND ASKED IF HE WANTED US TO PROCEED ON J92 TO LMT AND HE RECLRED US TO LKV ON J5. I THINK AFTER RECEIVING A CLRNC IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE CREW MEMBER GIVE THE OTHER CREW MEMBER A MORE DETAILED BRIEFING OF THE ENTIRE CLRNC INCLUDING THE SID AND AIRWAYS TO BE FLOWN AND NOT JUST A SID AND AS FILED. THIS PROC PUT THE OTHER PLT THAT IS BEING BRIEFED AN OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE IF THE FLT IS GOING TO BE FLYING A DIFFERENT RTE OTHER THAN THE RTE THAT WAS FILED.
