Narrative:

I was the PNF on this flight. Initial climb out; cleared to shipp as normal by ny departure. Just prior to shipp cleared direct to kingg (bypassing kiner). Immediate frequency change to next sector. Upon checking in; controller asked which coordinates we had for kingg. We were approximately 170 NM from kingg having just been cleared to kingg mins earlier (when near shipp). I line selected kingg in the FMS to navigation data: N31813.3w07015.7 (current database in aircraft). I cross checked the la(H/left)5;6 chart and saw kingg was N30808.3w070021.6. The computer flight plan had the same coordinates as the chart; but different from the FMC navigation data. The two coordinates for kingg are about 7 miles apart. ATC confirmed that the charted and flight plan coordinates were the correct ones and the FMC navigation data was incorrect; we manually put in the long/latitude for kingg and proceeded direct; still over 150 miles away from kingg. I thanked the center controller for bringing the kingg coordinates navigation data error to our attention. In the flight plan I had missed the remarks on kingg (also squad and okonu points) regarding the faulty FMC database. Previous NOTAMS (about six ft in length) issued following the realignment of the watrs region on june 2008 contained numerous revisions to intxns; and changing compulsory and non compulsory reporting points. I annotated these revisions on my charts previously. (After the clarification of kingg's position from ATC; I read through the flight plan and NOTAMS four times until I found the NOTAM on kingg; #A0385. While missing the NOTAM on kingg is my error; using a waypoint that is known to be in error on a filed routing and flight plan invites this mistake to re repeated daily.

Title: AN ACR FLT CREW DEVIATED FROM CLEARED COURSE WHEN THEY OVERLOOKED A REVISION BY NOTAM TO THE LOCATION OF KINGG.

Narrative: I WAS THE PNF ON THIS FLT. INITIAL CLBOUT; CLEARED TO SHIPP AS NORMAL BY NY DEP. JUST PRIOR TO SHIPP CLEARED DIRECT TO KINGG (BYPASSING KINER). IMMEDIATE FREQ CHANGE TO NEXT SECTOR. UPON CHKING IN; CTLR ASKED WHICH COORDINATES WE HAD FOR KINGG. WE WERE APPROX 170 NM FROM KINGG HAVING JUST BEEN CLRED TO KINGG MINS EARLIER (WHEN NEAR SHIPP). I LINE SELECTED KINGG IN THE FMS TO NAV DATA: N31813.3W07015.7 (CURRENT DATABASE IN ACFT). I CROSS CHKED THE LA(H/L)5;6 CHART AND SAW KINGG WAS N30808.3W070021.6. THE COMPUTER FLT PLAN HAD THE SAME COORDINATES AS THE CHART; BUT DIFFERENT FROM THE FMC NAV DATA. THE TWO COORDINATES FOR KINGG ARE ABOUT 7 MILES APART. ATC CONFIRMED THAT THE CHARTED AND FLT PLAN COORDINATES WERE THE CORRECT ONES AND THE FMC NAV DATA WAS INCORRECT; WE MANUALLY PUT IN THE LONG/LAT FOR KINGG AND PROCEEDED DIRECT; STILL OVER 150 MILES AWAY FROM KINGG. I THANKED THE CTR CTLR FOR BRINGING THE KINGG COORDINATES NAV DATA ERROR TO OUR ATTENTION. IN THE FLT PLAN I HAD MISSED THE REMARKS ON KINGG (ALSO SQUAD AND OKONU POINTS) REGARDING THE FAULTY FMC DATABASE. PREVIOUS NOTAMS (ABOUT SIX FT IN LENGTH) ISSUED FOLLOWING THE REALIGNMENT OF THE WATRS REGION ON JUNE 2008 CONTAINED NUMEROUS REVISIONS TO INTXNS; AND CHANGING COMPULSORY AND NON COMPULSORY RPTING POINTS. I ANNOTATED THESE REVISIONS ON MY CHARTS PREVIOUSLY. (AFTER THE CLARIFICATION OF KINGG'S POSITION FROM ATC; I READ THROUGH THE FLT PLAN AND NOTAMS FOUR TIMES UNTIL I FOUND THE NOTAM ON KINGG; #A0385. WHILE MISSING THE NOTAM ON KINGG IS MY ERROR; USING A WAYPOINT THAT IS KNOWN TO BE IN ERROR ON A FILED ROUTING AND FLT PLAN INVITES THIS MISTAKE TO RE REPEATED DAILY.
