Narrative:
We were assigned by clearance delivery the tri-gate 5 departure which calls for a 120 degree heading after takeoff. Captain was thinking, however, we were doing the keene 5 departure, which was on our dispatch release. I did not catch his misunderstanding and we proceeded with the keene 5 departure and turned to a 240 degree heading after takeoff from runway 13L. This turn put us across the departure paths of runways 17L/C/right. The departure controller corrected our heading but only after having to direct other departures away from us. We are unsure of any separation problems. This problem arose on the ground when we did not thoroughly discuss our routing before takeoff. Factors included both pilots being unfamiliar with dfw and the fact that we were both newly qualified in our respective position. Also, my assumption that the captain knew better than I did. In addition, at dfw tower does not assign/confirm initial heading with the takeoff clearance. In my estimation though, this problem came from both of us not discussing and confirming our clearance before departure -- especially at an unfamiliar airport.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR FLIES WRONG DEP FROM DFW.
Narrative: WE WERE ASSIGNED BY CLRNC DELIVERY THE TRI-GATE 5 DEP WHICH CALLS FOR A 120 DEG HDG AFTER TKOF. CAPT WAS THINKING, HOWEVER, WE WERE DOING THE KEENE 5 DEP, WHICH WAS ON OUR DISPATCH RELEASE. I DID NOT CATCH HIS MISUNDERSTANDING AND WE PROCEEDED WITH THE KEENE 5 DEP AND TURNED TO A 240 DEG HDG AFTER TKOF FROM RWY 13L. THIS TURN PUT US ACROSS THE DEP PATHS OF RWYS 17L/C/R. THE DEP CTLR CORRECTED OUR HDG BUT ONLY AFTER HAVING TO DIRECT OTHER DEPS AWAY FROM US. WE ARE UNSURE OF ANY SEPARATION PROBS. THIS PROB AROSE ON THE GND WHEN WE DID NOT THOROUGHLY DISCUSS OUR ROUTING BEFORE TKOF. FACTORS INCLUDED BOTH PLTS BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH DFW AND THE FACT THAT WE WERE BOTH NEWLY QUALIFIED IN OUR RESPECTIVE POS. ALSO, MY ASSUMPTION THAT THE CAPT KNEW BETTER THAN I DID. IN ADDITION, AT DFW TWR DOES NOT ASSIGN/CONFIRM INITIAL HDG WITH THE TKOF CLRNC. IN MY ESTIMATION THOUGH, THIS PROB CAME FROM BOTH OF US NOT DISCUSSING AND CONFIRMING OUR CLRNC BEFORE DEP -- ESPECIALLY AT AN UNFAMILIAR ARPT.
