Narrative:

A gulfstream 5, checked on frequency and asked a question. His honeywell FMS and his jen 6 arrival chart did not agree. The FMS was displaying a small but not insignificant error in the jen 6 procedure. In a 'south flow' at dfw, jets landing dfw, ads, and dal all fly the jen 6. Aircraft FMS was depicting the delmo direct gibbi route instead of the correct delmo, fuz, hurbs route. This error, while slight, may cause a significant problem for an approach controller expecting an aircraft to turn east at fuz, not proceed north!
