Narrative:
Misread chart for J518. Instead of balance 300 degrees, was using EMI 300 degrees. ATC queried if we were cleared J518 and we said yes. Looking at chart, due to closeness on chart of EMI and balance and with magenta line and identify line, we flew EMI 300 degrees for J518 (both pilots interpreted same thing). Supplemental information from acn 469156: EMI misleadingly appears to be balance VOR on chart.

LOOKING AT CHART, DUE TO CLOSENESS ON CHART OF EMI AND BAL AND WITH MAGENTA LINE AND IDENT LINE, WE FLEW EMI 300 DEGS FOR J518 (BOTH PLTS INTERPED SAME THING).
