Narrative:

We were on the braymer 3 arrival going into mci. The STAR was manually loaded into the FMS as it was not in the database. Both the first officer and myself failed to enter the turn to a heading of 190 degrees. Just prior to execution of the turn at intersection bygec; we received a cas message. The first officer proceeded to look up the abnormality in the QRH. I began to focus on his reading of the checklist when at this time the aircraft (on autoplt) made a turn to a heading of 250 degrees. Had the heading been programmed in properly; the aircraft should have turned to a heading of 190 degrees. ATC queried us and an immediate left turn was made to 150 degrees. There were no conflicts in this incident. Lesson learned on flying the aircraft and not focusing on a checklist that the first officer was capable of handling himself. The cas message took my focus of flying away at the worst possible time. Next time we will look at the STAR more carefully and fly the aircraft first.callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the FMS in this aircraft is a honeywell; and will normally accept an arrival selection prior to selecting a runway. Why it would not do so in this instance remains unknown.

JUST PRIOR TO EXECUTION OF THE TURN AT INTXN BYGEC; WE RECEIVED A CAS MESSAGE. THE FO PROCEEDED TO LOOK UP THE ABNORMALITY IN THE QRH. I BEGAN TO FOCUS ON HIS READING OF THE CHKLIST WHEN AT THIS TIME THE ACFT (ON AUTOPLT) MADE A TURN TO A HDG OF 250 DEGS. HAD THE HDG BEEN PROGRAMMED IN PROPERLY; THE ACFT SHOULD HAVE TURNED TO A HDG OF 190 DEGS. ATC QUERIED US AND AN IMMEDIATE L TURN WAS MADE TO 150 DEGS. THERE WERE NO CONFLICTS IN THIS INCIDENT. LESSON LEARNED ON FLYING THE ACFT AND NOT FOCUSING ON A CHKLIST THAT THE FO WAS CAPABLE OF HANDLING HIMSELF. THE CAS MSG TOOK MY FOCUS OF FLYING AWAY AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME. NEXT TIME WE WILL LOOK AT THE STAR MORE CAREFULLY AND FLY THE ACFT FIRST.CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE FMS IN THIS ACFT IS A HONEYWELL; AND WILL NORMALLY ACCEPT AN ARRIVAL SELECTION PRIOR TO SELECTING A RWY. WHY IT WOULD NOT DO SO IN THIS INSTANCE REMAINS UNKNOWN.
