Narrative:
First officer flew departure (not best decision on captain's part) and selected VNAV at about 100 ft (which gives climb power, which at maximum gross takeoff makes for a good attention getter flying towards the alps). At the same time he called for flaps 1 degree and began a shallow (less than 15 degree) turn, at which point I became more interested in the maneuver speed and the terrain to the south than being on the SID. When the speed finally got up to a safe point, we rolled the bank up to 30 degrees and resumed to fly the SID. The low altitude/airspeed in mountainous terrain was easily the distracter in this case. 2 lessons: brief every part of SID to the last KT of speed and foot of altitude and don't assume that because first officer is european qualified means he's been there. Also there is no requirement to give the first officer every other leg.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A B767 CREW, DEPARTING ZURICH (LSCH), DEVIATED FROM THE SID WHEN CLB PWR WAS PREMATURELY SELECTED, LIMITING CLB AND MANEUVERING CAPABILITIES.
Narrative: FO FLEW DEP (NOT BEST DECISION ON CAPT'S PART) AND SELECTED VNAV AT ABOUT 100 FT (WHICH GIVES CLB PWR, WHICH AT MAX GROSS TKOF MAKES FOR A GOOD ATTN GETTER FLYING TOWARDS THE ALPS). AT THE SAME TIME HE CALLED FOR FLAPS 1 DEG AND BEGAN A SHALLOW (LESS THAN 15 DEG) TURN, AT WHICH POINT I BECAME MORE INTERESTED IN THE MANEUVER SPD AND THE TERRAIN TO THE S THAN BEING ON THE SID. WHEN THE SPD FINALLY GOT UP TO A SAFE POINT, WE ROLLED THE BANK UP TO 30 DEGS AND RESUMED TO FLY THE SID. THE LOW ALT/AIRSPD IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WAS EASILY THE DISTRACTER IN THIS CASE. 2 LESSONS: BRIEF EVERY PART OF SID TO THE LAST KT OF SPD AND FOOT OF ALT AND DON'T ASSUME THAT BECAUSE FO IS EUROPEAN QUALIFIED MEANS HE'S BEEN THERE. ALSO THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO GIVE THE FO EVERY OTHER LEG.
