Narrative:

Aircraft departed runway 13L at love field. PF had looked at 'dallas 5' SID earlier, then on taxi out, asked PNF to review it once again. As PNF, I did so, and read him the incorrect runway information for runway 31L not runway 13L. This had us making a right turn to a 360 degree heading, instead of flying runway heading (runway 13L). (The altitudes were the same.) after we departed and were in the turn to 360 degree heading, dallas asked us what we were doing and why. When we realized our error we corrected back and joined the appropriate SID. I believe several factors contributed to this error. The crew had never flown together before, passenger were early and crew felt rushed. Fatigue was a large factor. I was on my 4TH day of working in a row, with several XA00 and XB00 morning wake-ups with long days. This day, I had arisen at XB00 to be work by XD30 and we were scheduled for a maximum duty day of 15+ hours. I believe crews also have to be very careful when dealing with runways with similar numbers, to be sure they are using the appropriate information.

Title: LTT BIZJET DEPARTED RWY 13. THEY FLEW THE SID FOR RWY 31.

Narrative: ACFT DEPARTED RWY 13L AT LOVE FIELD. PF HAD LOOKED AT 'DALLAS 5' SID EARLIER, THEN ON TAXI OUT, ASKED PNF TO REVIEW IT ONCE AGAIN. AS PNF, I DID SO, AND READ HIM THE INCORRECT RWY INFO FOR RWY 31L NOT RWY 13L. THIS HAD US MAKING A R TURN TO A 360 DEG HDG, INSTEAD OF FLYING RWY HDG (RWY 13L). (THE ALTS WERE THE SAME.) AFTER WE DEPARTED AND WERE IN THE TURN TO 360 DEG HDG, DALLAS ASKED US WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WHY. WHEN WE REALIZED OUR ERROR WE CORRECTED BACK AND JOINED THE APPROPRIATE SID. I BELIEVE SEVERAL FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ERROR. THE CREW HAD NEVER FLOWN TOGETHER BEFORE, PAX WERE EARLY AND CREW FELT RUSHED. FATIGUE WAS A LARGE FACTOR. I WAS ON MY 4TH DAY OF WORKING IN A ROW, WITH SEVERAL XA00 AND XB00 MORNING WAKE-UPS WITH LONG DAYS. THIS DAY, I HAD ARISEN AT XB00 TO BE WORK BY XD30 AND WE WERE SCHEDULED FOR A MAX DUTY DAY OF 15+ HRS. I BELIEVE CREWS ALSO HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH RWYS WITH SIMILAR NUMBERS, TO BE SURE THEY ARE USING THE APPROPRIATE INFO.
