Air Asia gets its navigation wrong ex Sydney

[MarkR]

Another issue with navigation and Air Asia X, this one just as serious as the two at OOL:

AN investigation into an AirAsia X flight that turned the wrong way after taking off from Sydney has revealed a litany of failures by the airline and crew.
Flight 223 to Kuala Lumpur on March 10, 2015 had to be guided to Melbourne to land after the captain inadvertently entered the wrong data in the flight computer.

An Australian Transport Safety Bureau report found the captain got the longitudinal position of the aircraft incorrect by 11,000 kilometres, sending the A330’s on-board navigation system into a spin.
