Narrative:

On mar/xa/99 at approximately XX30 hours, myself and first officer departed from clovis municipal airport, NM, en route to albuquerque, NM, on an IFR flight plan. We were operating as air carrier X flight. We were given clearance to abq as filed (cvn..txo..miera..MIERA2..abq). On departure, we contacted cannon approach, cannon AFB, NM, notifying the departure controller that we could maintain our own terrain separation for the VFR climb on course, the controller replied, 'approved as requested.' we proceeded to climb on course with a 300 degree heading off runway 30 to intercept the txo 270 degree radial. We were then notified by the departure control supervisor that we were cleared for a VFR climb to the VOR (txo) and then on course -- not a climb on course from cvn. We responded by agreeing to go direct to the VOR (txo) and then on course, however, the supervisor cleared us to climb on course from our present position. No civil or military aircraft were in the vicinity during this event. Clarification of the clearance and some type of standard phraseology for this type of clearance would perhaps prevent this type of misunderstanding from occurring in the future.

Title: FLC OF A BEECH 1900 AIRLINER, FAILED TO FOLLOW THEIR FLT PLAN CLRNC AFTER DEP CAUSING DEP CTLR INTERVENTION TO REMIND THEM OF THEIR APPROVED FLT PLAN ROUTING.

Narrative: ON MAR/XA/99 AT APPROX XX30 HRS, MYSELF AND FO DEPARTED FROM CLOVIS MUNICIPAL ARPT, NM, ENRTE TO ALBUQUERQUE, NM, ON AN IFR FLT PLAN. WE WERE OPERATING AS ACR X FLT. WE WERE GIVEN CLRNC TO ABQ AS FILED (CVN..TXO..MIERA..MIERA2..ABQ). ON DEP, WE CONTACTED CANNON APCH, CANNON AFB, NM, NOTIFYING THE DEP CTLR THAT WE COULD MAINTAIN OUR OWN TERRAIN SEPARATION FOR THE VFR CLB ON COURSE, THE CTLR REPLIED, 'APPROVED AS REQUESTED.' WE PROCEEDED TO CLB ON COURSE WITH A 300 DEG HDG OFF RWY 30 TO INTERCEPT THE TXO 270 DEG RADIAL. WE WERE THEN NOTIFIED BY THE DEP CTL SUPVR THAT WE WERE CLRED FOR A VFR CLB TO THE VOR (TXO) AND THEN ON COURSE -- NOT A CLB ON COURSE FROM CVN. WE RESPONDED BY AGREEING TO GO DIRECT TO THE VOR (TXO) AND THEN ON COURSE, HOWEVER, THE SUPVR CLRED US TO CLB ON COURSE FROM OUR PRESENT POS. NO CIVIL OR MIL ACFT WERE IN THE VICINITY DURING THIS EVENT. CLARIFICATION OF THE CLRNC AND SOME TYPE OF STANDARD PHRASEOLOGY FOR THIS TYPE OF CLRNC WOULD PERHAPS PREVENT THIS TYPE OF MISUNDERSTANDING FROM OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE.
