Narrative:

The departure procedure for runway 25L ws applied to runway 24L from the LAXX5.lax departure. It was pure luck that there was not a departure in progress from the south complex at the time. ATC advised 'no harm; no foul.' the process began with the set up of the departure. The laxx.5 is not in the database. So I built it with a radio backup. During this period; the station began boarding the flight. It was not clear if the aircraft security check was complied with. The boarding was stopped until the paperwork arrived. Add the LAXX5.lax departure to the database. All regularly flown stars and sids should be in the database regardless of the seeming simplicity supplemental information from acn 695818: we took off on runway 24L; and as we were climbing on heading 250 degrees; the pilot monitoring said we're crossing santa monica 160 degree radial; and when I didn't respond called for a left turn to 220 degrees. I didn't realize that he was thinking of the runway 25 departure. I thought I had missed an ATC call that the pilot monitoring had heard; so began the turn as directed. I should have queried the pilot monitoring when he told me to turn; but since I'm on IOE and new to the seat; I assumed that I had missed an assigned heading.
