Narrative:

On departure out of phx we had a tail compartment temperature high light come on. Being the PF, I turned on the autoplt so I could monitor the aircraft and man the radios while the captain performed the checklist. About the time the captain finished the checklist, took the radios back and intercepted the radial on the departure, we were given a higher altitude. The captain responded and I started to climb. Then we were asked to accelerate so I went to vertical speed to break my rate of climb and accelerate. During all of this, the autoplt had intercepted the radial, but during the capture had evidently gone through the radial and was correcting back to course. At the same time the captain was trying to confirm our climb clearance, we received an RA on our TCASII and passed an air carrier B757. There wasn't anything said until we were 3/4 of the way to seattle when we were given a number and asked to call a phx control supervisor. He said as far as he was concerned it was a mute point, no action necessary. They ran a track we had vertical separation but that he was going to have to turn it over to his chief as the working controller was so shook up he was going to have to take the rest of the day off.

Title: THE FO OF AN MD83 OVERSHOT A SID TRACK CAUSING A CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER ACR B757 DURING DEP CLB.

Narrative: ON DEP OUT OF PHX WE HAD A TAIL COMPARTMENT TEMP HIGH LIGHT COME ON. BEING THE PF, I TURNED ON THE AUTOPLT SO I COULD MONITOR THE ACFT AND MAN THE RADIOS WHILE THE CAPT PERFORMED THE CHKLIST. ABOUT THE TIME THE CAPT FINISHED THE CHKLIST, TOOK THE RADIOS BACK AND INTERCEPTED THE RADIAL ON THE DEP, WE WERE GIVEN A HIGHER ALT. THE CAPT RESPONDED AND I STARTED TO CLB. THEN WE WERE ASKED TO ACCELERATE SO I WENT TO VERT SPD TO BREAK MY RATE OF CLB AND ACCELERATE. DURING ALL OF THIS, THE AUTOPLT HAD INTERCEPTED THE RADIAL, BUT DURING THE CAPTURE HAD EVIDENTLY GONE THROUGH THE RADIAL AND WAS CORRECTING BACK TO COURSE. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAPT WAS TRYING TO CONFIRM OUR CLB CLRNC, WE RECEIVED AN RA ON OUR TCASII AND PASSED AN ACR B757. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING SAID UNTIL WE WERE 3/4 OF THE WAY TO SEATTLE WHEN WE WERE GIVEN A NUMBER AND ASKED TO CALL A PHX CTL SUPVR. HE SAID AS FAR AS HE WAS CONCERNED IT WAS A MUTE POINT, NO ACTION NECESSARY. THEY RAN A TRACK WE HAD VERT SEPARATION BUT THAT HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO TURN IT OVER TO HIS CHIEF AS THE WORKING CTLR WAS SO SHOOK UP HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF.
