Narrative:

Crew received clearance: as filed mdw 3 radar vectors to iow. We were cleared into position to hold, behind landing traffic, be ready for an immediate departure behind clearing traffic. We were then cleared for takeoff (no heading was assigned). On departure we maintained a heading of 310 degrees (runway heading). This heading could possibly take the aircraft into ord traffic pattern. The departure controller was extremely busy and after 4 calls we were acknowledged. Our altitude was 300' heading 310 degrees. The controller was upset that we had not turned to the southwest (normal assigned heading is 260 degrees), and began to give us the implications of our 310 degrees heading. He then assigned us a heading of 180 degrees maintain 3000'. This heading and altitude took the aircraft outside underneath the ord TCA. Our speed at the time was 240 KTS, and the controller was aware of the speed. Avoidable yes!! 1) a heading to clear the ord pattern should have been received before the aircraft began the takeoff roll. A) assigned by the tower controller. B) requested by the pilots (both were familiar with mdw departure). 2) the crew should have known their position to prevent the speed incursion below the ord TCA. If we (crew and controller) were not in such a rush a heading assignment would most certainly have been sent and received. Slow down.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: PROX OF ORD CTL ZONE AND SPEED DEVIATION.

Narrative: CREW RECEIVED CLRNC: AS FILED MDW 3 RADAR VECTORS TO IOW. WE WERE CLRED INTO POS TO HOLD, BEHIND LNDG TFC, BE READY FOR AN IMMEDIATE DEP BEHIND CLRING TFC. WE WERE THEN CLRED FOR TKOF (NO HDG WAS ASSIGNED). ON DEP WE MAINTAINED A HDG OF 310 DEGS (RWY HDG). THIS HDG COULD POSSIBLY TAKE THE ACFT INTO ORD TFC PATTERN. THE DEP CTLR WAS EXTREMELY BUSY AND AFTER 4 CALLS WE WERE ACKNOWLEDGED. OUR ALT WAS 300' HDG 310 DEGS. THE CTLR WAS UPSET THAT WE HAD NOT TURNED TO THE SW (NORMAL ASSIGNED HDG IS 260 DEGS), AND BEGAN TO GIVE US THE IMPLICATIONS OF OUR 310 DEGS HDG. HE THEN ASSIGNED US A HDG OF 180 DEGS MAINTAIN 3000'. THIS HDG AND ALT TOOK THE ACFT OUTSIDE UNDERNEATH THE ORD TCA. OUR SPD AT THE TIME WAS 240 KTS, AND THE CTLR WAS AWARE OF THE SPD. AVOIDABLE YES!! 1) A HDG TO CLR THE ORD PATTERN SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BEFORE THE ACFT BEGAN THE TKOF ROLL. A) ASSIGNED BY THE TWR CTLR. B) REQUESTED BY THE PLTS (BOTH WERE FAMILIAR WITH MDW DEP). 2) THE CREW SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THEIR POS TO PREVENT THE SPD INCURSION BELOW THE ORD TCA. IF WE (CREW AND CTLR) WERE NOT IN SUCH A RUSH A HDG ASSIGNMENT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN SENT AND RECEIVED. SLOW DOWN.
