Narrative:

Departing abq, tower advised cleared for takeoff runway 8 turn left to 310 degree for noise abatement. After takeoff and 310 degree heading, departure advise we should have turned at 13.5 DME for the noise abatement procedure. The noise abatement procedure is on back of page 10-7 in an inconspicuous location. Maybe tower should advise crews sometime earlier. It would help if noise procedure was located in more conspicuous place or tower advise clear for takeoff, turn heading 310 degree at 13.5 DME.
