Narrative:

I was working the local control position when MTR X, a T44, departed runway 17 off of a touch and go and was instructed to turn left heading 40 degrees and the pilot acknowledged. I observed the aircraft continuing ssebound. I instructed the pilot to continue left turn heading 350 degrees due to traffic south of the airport on final for NAS pensacola at 1200 ft. The pilot acknowledged but the aircraft continued sse. I instructed the pilot to turn left immediately heading 350 degrees and informed the controller working the aircraft on final at NAS pensacola about MTR X. When MTR X finally turned he was approximately 1.5 sse of pensacola, florida regional at 1000 ft approximately 1 mi from the final traffic. To prevent this problem in the future NAS pensacola should use a runway aligned with the wind to avoid a crossing situation with pns runway 17 departures and npa runway 25 arrs. Instructor pilots in the trainers should take over the controls when students are not doing as instructed instead of waiting until the situation become dangerous.

Title: A MIL TRAINER CLBING OFF RWY 17 AT PNS FAILED TO TAKE A TURN GIVEN BY THE LCL CTLR AND GOT IN CLOSE PROX TO AN ACFT INBOUND TO NPA. RPTING CTLR COORD WITH THE MIL CTLR AT ADJACENT ARPT SO THAT TFC INFO COULD BE GIVEN. SAYS MIL ARPT SHOULD USE RWYS ALIGNED WITH THE WIND TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OCCURRENCE.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING THE LCL CTL POS WHEN MTR X, A T44, DEPARTED RWY 17 OFF OF A TOUCH AND GO AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TURN L HDG 40 DEGS AND THE PLT ACKNOWLEDGED. I OBSERVED THE ACFT CONTINUING SSEBOUND. I INSTRUCTED THE PLT TO CONTINUE L TURN HDG 350 DEGS DUE TO TFC S OF THE ARPT ON FINAL FOR NAS PENSACOLA AT 1200 FT. THE PLT ACKNOWLEDGED BUT THE ACFT CONTINUED SSE. I INSTRUCTED THE PLT TO TURN L IMMEDIATELY HDG 350 DEGS AND INFORMED THE CTLR WORKING THE ACFT ON FINAL AT NAS PENSACOLA ABOUT MTR X. WHEN MTR X FINALLY TURNED HE WAS APPROX 1.5 SSE OF PENSACOLA, FLORIDA REGIONAL AT 1000 FT APPROX 1 MI FROM THE FINAL TFC. TO PREVENT THIS PROB IN THE FUTURE NAS PENSACOLA SHOULD USE A RWY ALIGNED WITH THE WIND TO AVOID A XING SIT WITH PNS RWY 17 DEPS AND NPA RWY 25 ARRS. INSTRUCTOR PLTS IN THE TRAINERS SHOULD TAKE OVER THE CTLS WHEN STUDENTS ARE NOT DOING AS INSTRUCTED INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL THE SIT BECOME DANGEROUS.
