Narrative:
On takeoff at dfw airport, at about 800 ft AGL when nose was lowered for normal after takeoff climb, noticed a commuter aircraft to my right that appeared to be converging. It appeared to stop converging before it seemed necessary to use any evasive maneuver. It maintained runway heading. The aircraft had been cleared for takeoff on the parallel runway on the same (east) side of the airport. The departure control later notified us that that aircraft was supposed to make a right 30 degree turn after takeoff which he didn't until something after 1000 ft AGL. Our concern was that the tower didn't seem to be aware of the closeness and lack of turn by the commuter aircraft. We were also given a right turn clearance when reaching the middle marker (10 degree turn), which we were concerned that we would have to delay. At some point after we reached 1000 ft AGL, the commuter aircraft turned to his assigned heading (right) and further conflict was avoided. Corrective action: training of commuters about departure turns after takeoff.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR HAS NMAC ON DEP CLB WITH LTT WHO FAILS TO TURN AS ASSIGNED.
Narrative: ON TKOF AT DFW ARPT, AT ABOUT 800 FT AGL WHEN NOSE WAS LOWERED FOR NORMAL AFTER TKOF CLB, NOTICED A COMMUTER ACFT TO MY R THAT APPEARED TO BE CONVERGING. IT APPEARED TO STOP CONVERGING BEFORE IT SEEMED NECESSARY TO USE ANY EVASIVE MANEUVER. IT MAINTAINED RWY HDG. THE ACFT HAD BEEN CLRED FOR TKOF ON THE PARALLEL RWY ON THE SAME (E) SIDE OF THE ARPT. THE DEP CTL LATER NOTIFIED US THAT THAT ACFT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE A R 30 DEG TURN AFTER TKOF WHICH HE DIDN'T UNTIL SOMETHING AFTER 1000 FT AGL. OUR CONCERN WAS THAT THE TWR DIDN'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF THE CLOSENESS AND LACK OF TURN BY THE COMMUTER ACFT. WE WERE ALSO GIVEN A R TURN CLRNC WHEN REACHING THE MIDDLE MARKER (10 DEG TURN), WHICH WE WERE CONCERNED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DELAY. AT SOME POINT AFTER WE REACHED 1000 FT AGL, THE COMMUTER ACFT TURNED TO HIS ASSIGNED HDG (R) AND FURTHER CONFLICT WAS AVOIDED. CORRECTIVE ACTION: TRAINING OF COMMUTERS ABOUT DEP TURNS AFTER TKOF.
