Narrative:

I was the sic on a flight from ZZZ1 to ZZZ2. The captain said he had received a pilot briefing over the phone from ZZZ3 AFSS and we needed to be aware of prohibited airspace down in ZZZ4 over a power plant. He made no mention of any other airspace that was affected. We departed VFR and through 2000 ft MSL contacted ZZZ5 center for the IFR clearance. The controller said he would not be able to issue a clearance until we proceeded east away from the prohibited airspace. The captain, unaware of the full impact of the prohibited airspace responded to the controller suggesting we proceed direct to ZZZ6 VOR which was to the southwest. Shortly thereafter the controller came back with instructions to make an immediate left turn to a heading of 090 degrees. I promptly responded with a 55 degree bank turn to the assigned heading. I believe the contributing factors to this incident was poor CRM and complacency on my part to probe the captain for more details of the WX brief he received. The captain I was flying with is a very experienced pilot but one who is older and has poor CRM skills. He still flies the aircraft in a manner of, 'the captain knows all.' this also creates an environment where the sic is intimidated to speak. Unfortunately this captain is also the chief pilot so there really is no one to bring up the matter to. In the future I will conduct my own WX briefing rather than rely on one individualsouth response that he has been briefed. Unless I can see a hard copy of the briefing I will assume it wasn't done.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A BE40 CREW, ON DEP, PROCRASTINATED WHEN ATC SUGGESTED PROCEEDING E TO CLR RESTRICTED AREA, RESULTING IN A MAX EFFORT TURN TO THE ASSIGNED HEADING.

Narrative: I WAS THE SIC ON A FLT FROM ZZZ1 TO ZZZ2. THE CAPT SAID HE HAD RECEIVED A PLT BRIEFING OVER THE PHONE FROM ZZZ3 AFSS AND WE NEEDED TO BE AWARE OF PROHIBITED AIRSPACE DOWN IN ZZZ4 OVER A PWR PLANT. HE MADE NO MENTION OF ANY OTHER AIRSPACE THAT WAS AFFECTED. WE DEPARTED VFR AND THROUGH 2000 FT MSL CONTACTED ZZZ5 CENTER FOR THE IFR CLRNC. THE CTLR SAID HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ISSUE A CLRNC UNTIL WE PROCEEDED E AWAY FROM THE PROHIBITED AIRSPACE. THE CAPT, UNAWARE OF THE FULL IMPACT OF THE PROHIBITED AIRSPACE RESPONDED TO THE CTLR SUGGESTING WE PROCEED DIRECT TO ZZZ6 VOR WHICH WAS TO THE SW. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CTLR CAME BACK WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN TO A HEADING OF 090 DEGS. I PROMPTLY RESPONDED WITH A 55 DEG BANK TURN TO THE ASSIGNED HEADING. I BELIEVE THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THIS INCIDENT WAS POOR CRM AND COMPLACENCY ON MY PART TO PROBE THE CAPT FOR MORE DETAILS OF THE WX BRIEF HE RECEIVED. THE CAPT I WAS FLYING WITH IS A VERY EXPERIENCED PLT BUT ONE WHO IS OLDER AND HAS POOR CRM SKILLS. HE STILL FLIES THE ACFT IN A MANNER OF, 'THE CAPT KNOWS ALL.' THIS ALSO CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE SIC IS INTIMIDATED TO SPEAK. UNFORTUNATELY THIS CAPT IS ALSO THE CHIEF PLT SO THERE REALLY IS NO ONE TO BRING UP THE MATTER TO. IN THE FUTURE I WILL CONDUCT MY OWN WX BRIEFING RATHER THAN RELY ON ONE INDIVIDUALS RESPONSE THAT HE HAS BEEN BRIEFED. UNLESS I CAN SEE A HARD COPY OF THE BRIEFING I WILL ASSUME IT WASN'T DONE.

A BE40 crew, on departure, procrastinated when ATC suggested proceeding east to clear restricted area, resulting in a maximum effort turn to the assigned heading.
