Narrative:
ATC facility: dfw ground, east outbound. Taxiing out from spot X, ground told us standard taxi runway 35L, use taxiway ep. Captain looked it up on the dfw 60-7Z page and said he had the route. Abeam taxiway K11, ground called and said we were supposed to turn from taxiway K to taxiway K10, and to turn on taxiway a to taxiway left to taxiway ep. Later review of the 60-7Z page showed the standard runway 35L intersection routing only goes to taxiway eq, not taxiway ep. This was the primary source of the disconnect -- although we probably could have set the brakes and really looked at it closer. No conflicts occurred that I am aware of, but the controller seemed somewhat urgent in his xmissions.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: S80 FLC ERRONEOUSLY TOOK WRONG TAXI RTE AT DFW.
Narrative: ATC FACILITY: DFW GND, E OUTBOUND. TAXIING OUT FROM SPOT X, GND TOLD US STANDARD TAXI RWY 35L, USE TXWY EP. CAPT LOOKED IT UP ON THE DFW 60-7Z PAGE AND SAID HE HAD THE RTE. ABEAM TXWY K11, GND CALLED AND SAID WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TURN FROM TXWY K TO TXWY K10, AND TO TURN ON TXWY A TO TXWY L TO TXWY EP. LATER REVIEW OF THE 60-7Z PAGE SHOWED THE STANDARD RWY 35L INTXN ROUTING ONLY GOES TO TXWY EQ, NOT TXWY EP. THIS WAS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF THE DISCONNECT -- ALTHOUGH WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE SET THE BRAKES AND REALLY LOOKED AT IT CLOSER. NO CONFLICTS OCCURRED THAT I AM AWARE OF, BUT THE CTLR SEEMED SOMEWHAT URGENT IN HIS XMISSIONS.
