The coordinates for the lighthouse (Waypoint A) were incorrectly entered as a Waypoint into the SuperTans giving a position error of 1-200 metres. As the Pilots changed the SuperTans to Waypoint B (Corran) with 0.81 NM to go to Waypoint A they no longer had a direct range and bearing to Waypoint A displayed. The course of the aircraft did not, however, change and they continued towards the misplotted Waypoint.

If you are worried about potential errors on charts you need not be; it was a simple transcription error.
