Narrative:
Departure narrative says to fly runway heading until 2.5 DME clt, then left to 330 degrees, maintain 8000 ft. Pre departure clearance says hornet 1 departure naley intersection. Depicted area departure chart page 10-3A shows a dashed line (transition track) to join and continuing to naley also a dashed line to 330 degree heading and radar vector chevrons. We loaded the hornet 1 departure in the mcdu with the naley transition. This depicted straight out to jotta/naley intersection. On departure, about 3 NM from departure end, departure controller asked if we were turning left to intercept 330 degree heading. We said we were proceeding to naley transition. He said continue. Couple mins later, he queried us again why we didn't turn to 330 degree heading, and we said the departure chart was confusing (narrative said one thing and picture another). He said ok.

Title: AN ALLEGED, INSINUATED HDG TRACK DEV BY DEP CTLR WHEN THE FLC OF A DEP A320 DOES NOT TURN TO 330 DEGS AS CTLR EXPECTED ON THE HORNET 1. DEP NALEY TRANSITION OUT OF CLT, NC.
Narrative: DEP NARRATIVE SAYS TO FLY RWY HDG UNTIL 2.5 DME CLT, THEN L TO 330 DEGS, MAINTAIN 8000 FT. PDC SAYS HORNET 1 DEP NALEY INTXN. DEPICTED AREA DEP CHART PAGE 10-3A SHOWS A DASHED LINE (TRANSITION TRACK) TO JOIN AND CONTINUING TO NALEY ALSO A DASHED LINE TO 330 DEG HDG AND RADAR VECTOR CHEVRONS. WE LOADED THE HORNET 1 DEP IN THE MCDU WITH THE NALEY TRANSITION. THIS DEPICTED STRAIGHT OUT TO JOTTA/NALEY INTXN. ON DEP, ABOUT 3 NM FROM DEP END, DEP CTLR ASKED IF WE WERE TURNING L TO INTERCEPT 330 DEG HDG. WE SAID WE WERE PROCEEDING TO NALEY TRANSITION. HE SAID CONTINUE. COUPLE MINS LATER, HE QUERIED US AGAIN WHY WE DIDN'T TURN TO 330 DEG HDG, AND WE SAID THE DEP CHART WAS CONFUSING (NARRATIVE SAID ONE THING AND PICTURE ANOTHER). HE SAID OK.
