Narrative:

During taxi for takeoff, we were told there was a ground stop for departures due to the large WX system off the northwest. Captain and first officer discussed shutting down right engine as they taxied to the hold pad by runway 4, expecting long delay. APU was restarted and the right engine was secured. After 5-10 mins in the hold pad, ground control directed us to contact clearance delivery for a WX rerte. We received new routing from ATC. While reprogramming the navigation system with the new flight plan, the captain set the 246 degree radial in his course for tracking to the fluky intersection. The captain then briefed the engine failure procedure for runway 1. The brief was interrupted by ground control. Ground control cleared us to taxi from the hold pad and cross runway 4, then contact tower for departure. They directed us to cross runway 4, pull up to, but hold short of runway 1 in the pad. As we were pulling into position and completing the takeoff checklist, tower directed us into position and hold on runway 1, and to be ready, because traffic was on a 4 mi final. Tower cleared us for takeoff, and first officer performed normal takeoff and entered IMC conditions, and was in a left turn around 500 ft. First officer was using raw data for departure, and captain was in map mode for WX problems on departure. Once airborne, tower directed a change to departure control. Initial call to departure was made on tower frequency. Tower again directed change to departure. We checked in with departure control at around 1600 ft. During this time, engine and airfoil ice was called for and applied. Several seconds later, departure control asked us what our heading was. We responded that it was 340 degrees. They directed us to fly a 330 degree heading. Once established on 330 degree heading, captain re-set first officer's course to 246 flucky fix as per clearance. Departure control then gave us a turn to 270 degree heading, then direct to fluky intersection. We later received an ACARS message from dispatch to contact dca FAA tower upon landing at dfw. During the flight, several more ACARS messages from dispatch were received. Later in flight, dispatch contacted us via arinc to ask us if everything was ok on the flight deck. We responded that we were ok, and everything was normal, and asked what was the problem. They asked us if we encountered any problems on departure. We responded not to our knowledge. Dispatch informed us that we may be met at the gate for further information.

Title: DEP MD80 FLT PENETRATES THE P56 AREA NW OF DCA, DC.

Narrative: DURING TAXI FOR TKOF, WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS A GND STOP FOR DEPS DUE TO THE LARGE WX SYS OFF THE NW. CAPT AND FO DISCUSSED SHUTTING DOWN R ENG AS THEY TAXIED TO THE HOLD PAD BY RWY 4, EXPECTING LONG DELAY. APU WAS RESTARTED AND THE R ENG WAS SECURED. AFTER 5-10 MINS IN THE HOLD PAD, GND CTL DIRECTED US TO CONTACT CLRNC DELIVERY FOR A WX RERTE. WE RECEIVED NEW ROUTING FROM ATC. WHILE REPROGRAMMING THE NAV SYS WITH THE NEW FLT PLAN, THE CAPT SET THE 246 DEG RADIAL IN HIS COURSE FOR TRACKING TO THE FLUKY INTXN. THE CAPT THEN BRIEFED THE ENG FAILURE PROC FOR RWY 1. THE BRIEF WAS INTERRUPTED BY GND CTL. GND CTL CLRED US TO TAXI FROM THE HOLD PAD AND CROSS RWY 4, THEN CONTACT TWR FOR DEP. THEY DIRECTED US TO CROSS RWY 4, PULL UP TO, BUT HOLD SHORT OF RWY 1 IN THE PAD. AS WE WERE PULLING INTO POS AND COMPLETING THE TKOF CHKLIST, TWR DIRECTED US INTO POS AND HOLD ON RWY 1, AND TO BE READY, BECAUSE TFC WAS ON A 4 MI FINAL. TWR CLRED US FOR TKOF, AND FO PERFORMED NORMAL TKOF AND ENTERED IMC CONDITIONS, AND WAS IN A L TURN AROUND 500 FT. FO WAS USING RAW DATA FOR DEP, AND CAPT WAS IN MAP MODE FOR WX PROBS ON DEP. ONCE AIRBORNE, TWR DIRECTED A CHANGE TO DEP CTL. INITIAL CALL TO DEP WAS MADE ON TWR FREQ. TWR AGAIN DIRECTED CHANGE TO DEP. WE CHKED IN WITH DEP CTL AT AROUND 1600 FT. DURING THIS TIME, ENG AND AIRFOIL ICE WAS CALLED FOR AND APPLIED. SEVERAL SECONDS LATER, DEP CTL ASKED US WHAT OUR HDG WAS. WE RESPONDED THAT IT WAS 340 DEGS. THEY DIRECTED US TO FLY A 330 DEG HDG. ONCE ESTABLISHED ON 330 DEG HDG, CAPT RE-SET FO'S COURSE TO 246 FLUCKY FIX AS PER CLRNC. DEP CTL THEN GAVE US A TURN TO 270 DEG HDG, THEN DIRECT TO FLUKY INTXN. WE LATER RECEIVED AN ACARS MESSAGE FROM DISPATCH TO CONTACT DCA FAA TWR UPON LNDG AT DFW. DURING THE FLT, SEVERAL MORE ACARS MESSAGES FROM DISPATCH WERE RECEIVED. LATER IN FLT, DISPATCH CONTACTED US VIA ARINC TO ASK US IF EVERYTHING WAS OK ON THE FLT DECK. WE RESPONDED THAT WE WERE OK, AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL, AND ASKED WHAT WAS THE PROB. THEY ASKED US IF WE ENCOUNTERED ANY PROBS ON DEP. WE RESPONDED NOT TO OUR KNOWLEDGE. DISPATCH INFORMED US THAT WE MAY BE MET AT THE GATE FOR FURTHER INFO.
