An experienced flight crew was given a different runway clearance than normally used. The departure that the flight crew flew, though, was for the runway normally used and not appropriate for the runway clearance received.

Narrative:
The spokane 5 departure, as published, is actually quite clear in its depiction of the departure procedure, ie, 'turn left to a 205 degree heading within 1 DME of the airport' when departing runway 25. Anyway, we blew it and were flying runway heading when tower had to remind us to make the turn. I figure that the reason we failed to execute the maneuver properly was due to the use of runway 7-25 when we normally operate from runway 3-21 (the longer runway was closed for construction). The departure from runway 21 is also a 205 degree heading but that is basically runway heading (207 degree) and that is what we had in our minds. Rather than having an unusual operation trigger extra study, we pressed on and simply blew the turn. Another lesson -- be meticulous and take more care -- especially when operations are different then normal.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN EXPERIENCED FLC WAS GIVEN A DIFFERENT RWY CLRNC THAN NORMALLY USED. THE DEP THAT THE FLC FLEW, THOUGH, WAS FOR THE RWY NORMALLY USED AND NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE RWY CLRNC RECEIVED.
Narrative: THE SPOKANE 5 DEP, AS PUBLISHED, IS ACTUALLY QUITE CLR IN ITS DEPICTION OF THE DEP PROC, IE, 'TURN L TO A 205 DEG HDG WITHIN 1 DME OF THE ARPT' WHEN DEPARTING RWY 25. ANYWAY, WE BLEW IT AND WERE FLYING RWY HDG WHEN TWR HAD TO REMIND US TO MAKE THE TURN. I FIGURE THAT THE REASON WE FAILED TO EXECUTE THE MANEUVER PROPERLY WAS DUE TO THE USE OF RWY 7-25 WHEN WE NORMALLY OPERATE FROM RWY 3-21 (THE LONGER RWY WAS CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION). THE DEP FROM RWY 21 IS ALSO A 205 DEG HDG BUT THAT IS BASICALLY RWY HDG (207 DEG) AND THAT IS WHAT WE HAD IN OUR MINDS. RATHER THAN HAVING AN UNUSUAL OP TRIGGER EXTRA STUDY, WE PRESSED ON AND SIMPLY BLEW THE TURN. ANOTHER LESSON -- BE METICULOUS AND TAKE MORE CARE -- ESPECIALLY WHEN OPS ARE DIFFERENT THEN NORMAL.
