Narrative:

Intensive study of the airline's noise abatement special procedure for abq runways, dated oct/xx/95, showed a different procedure than what was previously shown for abq. We noted the change, and followed the 'current' procedure exactly. However, tower and departure wanted the old one. It would have been very simple to follow the old one (don't start a turn until 1.5 NM past the runway), but the new procedure removed the 1.5 NM restr completely. Basically, the 'new, updated, current' procedure was in error. So when we started a turn after takeoff, tower pointed out we have to wait till 1.5 NM. So we straightened out till 1.5 NM, then turned. It would have been easy to follow, we were well aware of the old procedure, but we followed the 'new, updated' procedure, which was wrong. Tell us, what could we do?

Title: FLC ADHERES TO NOISE ABATEMENT PROC THAT DOES NOT CORRESPOND WITH ARPT PROC.

Narrative: INTENSIVE STUDY OF THE AIRLINE'S NOISE ABATEMENT SPECIAL PROC FOR ABQ RWYS, DATED OCT/XX/95, SHOWED A DIFFERENT PROC THAN WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SHOWN FOR ABQ. WE NOTED THE CHANGE, AND FOLLOWED THE 'CURRENT' PROC EXACTLY. HOWEVER, TWR AND DEP WANTED THE OLD ONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SIMPLE TO FOLLOW THE OLD ONE (DON'T START A TURN UNTIL 1.5 NM PAST THE RWY), BUT THE NEW PROC REMOVED THE 1.5 NM RESTR COMPLETELY. BASICALLY, THE 'NEW, UPDATED, CURRENT' PROC WAS IN ERROR. SO WHEN WE STARTED A TURN AFTER TKOF, TWR POINTED OUT WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL 1.5 NM. SO WE STRAIGHTENED OUT TILL 1.5 NM, THEN TURNED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY TO FOLLOW, WE WERE WELL AWARE OF THE OLD PROC, BUT WE FOLLOWED THE 'NEW, UPDATED' PROC, WHICH WAS WRONG. TELL US, WHAT COULD WE DO?
