Narrative:

After I finished briefing and ran the taxi checklist, ramp control called and said that since we were an andys transition we had been reassigned to runway 36R, and told us to taxi to spot X. The captain asked me to review the takeoff data for runway 36R. There was a substantial difference between the 2 runways and we had to choose a new takeoff flex rating on the thrust rating panel and select, program and bug new v-spds. I also changed the departure runway in the FMS, but failed to review the climb out instructions on the SID for the new runway. It just didn't occur to me, even though I knew that each runway had different climb out instructions. It was an error of omission. During the remainder of the taxi I started the right engine. On the 'takeoff briefing' step of the before takeoff checklist I briefed the climb out instructions (for runway 36L) again. This was my third review of the procedure so I had it memorized by then, and I didn't look at the plate laying right beside me on my flight kit. We took off, climbed runway heading to 2.5 DME, and turned left to 330 degrees. Right after we rolled out, departure asked us to say our heading. When we replied '330' they gave us a 360 degree vector, followed shortly after rollout by a 090 degree vector. I immediately realized that I hadn't checked the climb out for the new runway. Amid much cursing and anger, I mentioned it to the captain. He quickly checked the departure and confirmed that we should have turned right to 025 degrees. We didn't get a TCASII TA or RA, but departure control gave us a number to call when we landed. They told the captain that we had caused a conflict, (I don't know if there was a loss of separation) but they weren't going to pursue it further. They were interested in making sure we had the clearance they thought we had.

Title: AN MD88 COPLT, DURING TAXI AT CLT, RECEIVED A LAST MIN RWY CHANGE. HE BRIEFED AND REPROGRAMMED EVERYTHING, BUT THE PROPER CLBOUT INSTRUCTIONS, CAUSING HIM TO TURN THE WRONG WAY ON DEP.

Narrative: AFTER I FINISHED BRIEFING AND RAN THE TAXI CHKLIST, RAMP CTL CALLED AND SAID THAT SINCE WE WERE AN ANDYS TRANSITION WE HAD BEEN REASSIGNED TO RWY 36R, AND TOLD US TO TAXI TO SPOT X. THE CAPT ASKED ME TO REVIEW THE TKOF DATA FOR RWY 36R. THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE BTWN THE 2 RWYS AND WE HAD TO CHOOSE A NEW TKOF FLEX RATING ON THE THRUST RATING PANEL AND SELECT, PROGRAM AND BUG NEW V-SPDS. I ALSO CHANGED THE DEP RWY IN THE FMS, BUT FAILED TO REVIEW THE CLBOUT INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SID FOR THE NEW RWY. IT JUST DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME, EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THAT EACH RWY HAD DIFFERENT CLBOUT INSTRUCTIONS. IT WAS AN ERROR OF OMISSION. DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE TAXI I STARTED THE R ENG. ON THE 'TKOF BRIEFING' STEP OF THE BEFORE TKOF CHKLIST I BRIEFED THE CLBOUT INSTRUCTIONS (FOR RWY 36L) AGAIN. THIS WAS MY THIRD REVIEW OF THE PROC SO I HAD IT MEMORIZED BY THEN, AND I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE PLATE LAYING RIGHT BESIDE ME ON MY FLT KIT. WE TOOK OFF, CLBED RWY HDG TO 2.5 DME, AND TURNED L TO 330 DEGS. RIGHT AFTER WE ROLLED OUT, DEP ASKED US TO SAY OUR HDG. WHEN WE REPLIED '330' THEY GAVE US A 360 DEG VECTOR, FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER ROLLOUT BY A 090 DEG VECTOR. I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED THAT I HADN'T CHKED THE CLBOUT FOR THE NEW RWY. AMID MUCH CURSING AND ANGER, I MENTIONED IT TO THE CAPT. HE QUICKLY CHKED THE DEP AND CONFIRMED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TURNED R TO 025 DEGS. WE DIDN'T GET A TCASII TA OR RA, BUT DEP CTL GAVE US A NUMBER TO CALL WHEN WE LANDED. THEY TOLD THE CAPT THAT WE HAD CAUSED A CONFLICT, (I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A LOSS OF SEPARATION) BUT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PURSUE IT FURTHER. THEY WERE INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE WE HAD THE CLRNC THEY THOUGHT WE HAD.
