Narrative:
For departure from jfk, we were assigned the kennedy 9 departure, canarsie climb transition. I read the departure. Before we taxied, the captain, who was the PNF, read the departure and stated that after cri VOR it was radar vectors and I, the first officer and PF, said that I did not see anything about radar vectors. The captain reviewed it a second time for a longer time and stated again 'yes' it is radar vectors. We departed and at cri waited for radar vectors. The controller asked us what departure and transition we were given. The PNF told him and he asked why we didn't do it. We had no excuses. The departure read to fly the 176 degree radial from cri. When the PNF said 'radar vectors,' I should have reviewed it again. We, the crew, did not have a long day, but it was late and we were both feeling tired. Our company uses electronic approach plates which makes it difficult to see when you must zoom in and out to see the detail needed. I should not have relied on the PNF even though that person is captain. They are not infallible.

Title: HEADING TRACK DEV BY A BE40 FLT CREW WHEN THEY FAILED TO NOTE THE 176 DEG DEP HEADING FROM CRI VORTAC ON THEIR ELECTRONIC AERO CHART AFTER A DEP FROM JFK, NY.
Narrative: FOR DEP FROM JFK, WE WERE ASSIGNED THE KENNEDY 9 DEP, CANARSIE CLB TRANSITION. I READ THE DEP. BEFORE WE TAXIED, THE CAPT, WHO WAS THE PNF, READ THE DEP AND STATED THAT AFTER CRI VOR IT WAS RADAR VECTORS AND I, THE FO AND PF, SAID THAT I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ABOUT RADAR VECTORS. THE CAPT REVIEWED IT A SECOND TIME FOR A LONGER TIME AND STATED AGAIN 'YES' IT IS RADAR VECTORS. WE DEPARTED AND AT CRI WAITED FOR RADAR VECTORS. THE CTLR ASKED US WHAT DEP AND TRANSITION WE WERE GIVEN. THE PNF TOLD HIM AND HE ASKED WHY WE DIDN'T DO IT. WE HAD NO EXCUSES. THE DEP READ TO FLY THE 176 DEG RADIAL FROM CRI. WHEN THE PNF SAID 'RADAR VECTORS,' I SHOULD HAVE REVIEWED IT AGAIN. WE, THE CREW, DID NOT HAVE A LONG DAY, BUT IT WAS LATE AND WE WERE BOTH FEELING TIRED. OUR COMPANY USES ELECTRONIC APCH PLATES WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN YOU MUST ZOOM IN AND OUT TO SEE THE DETAIL NEEDED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE RELIED ON THE PNF EVEN THOUGH THAT PERSON IS CAPT. THEY ARE NOT INFALLIBLE.
