Narrative:

Cleared the monterey eight departure from runway 28L/right-- reads: 'climb runway heading until leaving 1000 ft or as directed by monterey tower, turn right to a 330 degree heading for vector.' after departure began to yaw right, became distracted while looking for indications of thrust loss, etc, found power normal, aircraft just difficult to trim to neutral. This resulted in a late turn to 330 degrees which caused us to overfly a 'noise sensitive area.' factors: had briefed for a runway 10R takeoff due to this area. A special engine out procedure was published for runway 10R as well so that was discussed in detail. On rotation, yaw caused distraction and began thought process for single engine procedure for runway 28L (straight-out, no turns below 1500 ft). Other factors: fatigue, previous day 8 hours, including substantially holding into sfo, plus 2 legs prior, substantially holding delay into sfo. Minor distractions lead to overlooking turn point on SID. Supplemental information from acn 447380: discussed departure at gate, approximately 10-15 mins until actual flight. A quick review of special procedure, which occurs at a critical time, prior to taking the runway probably could have prevented the problem. Another solution would be to actually put airplane safety ahead of noise complaints.

Title: B727 CREW HAD TRACK DEV AT MRY.

Narrative: CLRED THE MONTEREY EIGHT DEP FROM RWY 28L/R-- READS: 'CLB RWY HEADING UNTIL LEAVING 1000 FT OR AS DIRECTED BY MONTEREY TWR, TURN R TO A 330 DEG HDG FOR VECTOR.' AFTER DEP BEGAN TO YAW R, BECAME DISTRACTED WHILE LOOKING FOR INDICATIONS OF THRUST LOSS, ETC, FOUND PWR NORMAL, ACFT JUST DIFFICULT TO TRIM TO NEUTRAL. THIS RESULTED IN A LATE TURN TO 330 DEGS WHICH CAUSED US TO OVERFLY A 'NOISE SENSITIVE AREA.' FACTORS: HAD BRIEFED FOR A RWY 10R TKOF DUE TO THIS AREA. A SPECIAL ENG OUT PROC WAS PUBLISHED FOR RWY 10R AS WELL SO THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN DETAIL. ON ROTATION, YAW CAUSED DISTR AND BEGAN THOUGHT PROCESS FOR SINGLE ENG PROC FOR RWY 28L (STRAIGHT-OUT, NO TURNS BELOW 1500 FT). OTHER FACTORS: FATIGUE, PREVIOUS DAY 8 HRS, INCLUDING SUBSTANTIALLY HOLDING INTO SFO, PLUS 2 LEGS PRIOR, SUBSTANTIALLY HOLDING DELAY INTO SFO. MINOR DISTRACTIONS LEAD TO OVERLOOKING TURN POINT ON SID. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 447380: DISCUSSED DEP AT GATE, APPROX 10-15 MINS UNTIL ACTUAL FLT. A QUICK REVIEW OF SPECIAL PROC, WHICH OCCURS AT A CRITICAL TIME, PRIOR TO TAKING THE RWY PROBABLY COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE PROB. ANOTHER SOLUTION WOULD BE TO ACTUALLY PUT AIRPLANE SAFETY AHEAD OF NOISE COMPLAINTS.
