Narrative:

On departure, SID called for right turnout with 270 degree turn to starn LOM, and then 314 degree bearing. Due to distrs of thunderstorms in vicinity, a left turn was made in lieu of right turn. When departure was contacted after takeoff from uncontrolled field, we were immediately given a further left turn to avoid airspace of gray army base, and informed that turn should have been to right. However, when queried, controller said there was no conflict or problem since activity was minimal due to WX conditions. SID could be marked better, explaining why it is necessary for right turnout when left turns are usually normal.

Title: FLC DEPARTING UNCTLED ARPT DOES NOT ADHERE TO SID DUE TO WX.

Narrative: ON DEP, SID CALLED FOR R TURNOUT WITH 270 DEG TURN TO STARN LOM, AND THEN 314 DEG BEARING. DUE TO DISTRS OF TSTMS IN VICINITY, A L TURN WAS MADE IN LIEU OF R TURN. WHEN DEP WAS CONTACTED AFTER TKOF FROM UNCTLED FIELD, WE WERE IMMEDIATELY GIVEN A FURTHER L TURN TO AVOID AIRSPACE OF GRAY ARMY BASE, AND INFORMED THAT TURN SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO R. HOWEVER, WHEN QUERIED, CTLR SAID THERE WAS NO CONFLICT OR PROB SINCE ACTIVITY WAS MINIMAL DUE TO WX CONDITIONS. SID COULD BE MARKED BETTER, EXPLAINING WHY IT IS NECESSARY FOR R TURNOUT WHEN L TURNS ARE USUALLY NORMAL.
