Narrative:
Passing 2000' on takeoff from 5R at pvd, we broke through a layer of clouds and saw an small transport (the previous pvd departure) at our 11-12 O'clock position, level or slightly below our altitude, approximately 2 mi distant, in a right turn to the east. As our existing rate of climb was sufficient to increase sep, no evasive action was necessary. Ocean approach later advised that the commuter should have been given a turn to the east after takeoff. Instead he was assigned 020 degrees initially, then given the turn to the east, conflicting with our runway heading to 6000' clearance. Supervisor described event as a controller error.

Title: A DEPARTING ACFT OVERTOOK A PRECEDING DEPARTING ACFT WHICH RESULTED IN LESS THAN STANDARD SEPARATION.
Narrative: PASSING 2000' ON TKOF FROM 5R AT PVD, WE BROKE THROUGH A LAYER OF CLOUDS AND SAW AN SMT (THE PREVIOUS PVD DEP) AT OUR 11-12 O'CLOCK POS, LEVEL OR SLIGHTLY BELOW OUR ALT, APPROX 2 MI DISTANT, IN A RIGHT TURN TO THE E. AS OUR EXISTING RATE OF CLB WAS SUFFICIENT TO INCREASE SEP, NO EVASIVE ACTION WAS NECESSARY. OCEAN APCH LATER ADVISED THAT THE COMMUTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TURN TO THE E AFTER TKOF. INSTEAD HE WAS ASSIGNED 020 DEGS INITIALLY, THEN GIVEN THE TURN TO THE E, CONFLICTING WITH OUR RWY HDG TO 6000' CLRNC. SUPVR DESCRIBED EVENT AS A CTLR ERROR.
