Narrative:
Prior to takeoff we were given 'out of 1600 ft, turn left on course, clear for takeoff.' I read back the clearance word for word, and that is what the captain briefed for takeoff. On departure, we turned on course and a few mins later, the departure controller asked 'who gave you on course.' I replied, 'the tower.' he said they did not. No conflicts were involved. The local controller was very busy. He was working clearance, ground, and tower. All were on different frequencys. People were talking all over each other. It seemed that the controller was confused because he kept calling us different call signs. If a controller is working multiple frequencys, it should be required that only 1 frequency be used. Also, every departure clearance begins with 'out of 1600 ft,' making a departure procedure would be a lot easier.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A DEPARTING D328 IS INSTRUCTED BY CRW LCL CTLR TO TURN L ON COURSE WHICH IS DISPUTED BY THE DEP CTLR.
Narrative: PRIOR TO TKOF WE WERE GIVEN 'OUT OF 1600 FT, TURN L ON COURSE, CLR FOR TKOF.' I READ BACK THE CLRNC WORD FOR WORD, AND THAT IS WHAT THE CAPT BRIEFED FOR TKOF. ON DEP, WE TURNED ON COURSE AND A FEW MINS LATER, THE DEP CTLR ASKED 'WHO GAVE YOU ON COURSE.' I REPLIED, 'THE TWR.' HE SAID THEY DID NOT. NO CONFLICTS WERE INVOLVED. THE LCL CTLR WAS VERY BUSY. HE WAS WORKING CLRNC, GND, AND TWR. ALL WERE ON DIFFERENT FREQS. PEOPLE WERE TALKING ALL OVER EACH OTHER. IT SEEMED THAT THE CTLR WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE HE KEPT CALLING US DIFFERENT CALL SIGNS. IF A CTLR IS WORKING MULTIPLE FREQS, IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED THAT ONLY 1 FREQ BE USED. ALSO, EVERY DEP CLRNC BEGINS WITH 'OUT OF 1600 FT,' MAKING A DEP PROC WOULD BE A LOT EASIER.
