Hawker 900 captain reports departing on a ferry flight and assumes a runway heading departure which ...

Narrative:

I had gone to the airport to take delivery of a hawker 900 that my company was going to lease. All my time is in a hawker 800 so I had attended hawker 900 recurrent at flight safety the previous 4 days. The hawker 900 has collins proline 21 avionics which is vastly different than the EFIS 85 system in my hawker 800. Upon arriving at the airport the 900's chief pilot picked me up and I met the copilot that was going to fly with me. After completing the required inspection and contract exchange we loaded up and started engines. We were pushed for time as I wanted to make destination before dark. The copilot had set the airplane up and received the clearance. We briefed the takeoff before taxiing out. The weather was clear and visibility was excellent. This airplane has electronic charts and I never looked at the departure or even realized there was a departure. During the brief I said I guess we will get runway heading and the copilot didn't disagree. Upon departure we both had assumed we were to fly runway heading and after several minutes in the climb I had the copilot ask departure how long we were to fly runway heading. He came back and said that we weren't supposed to be on a runway heading but to continue climb and proceed direct to the next fix on the flight plan since we were above the terrain. That was the point we realized we had made an error. Center advised us to call upon landing which I did. I explained what we had done to the center and he said the call was just to make sure we knew what had happened. He did say they had reviewed the track and we had not violated terrain clearance. Excitement to fly the new airplane; freshly trained on the avionics system; new copilot; failure to review the departure procedure and rushed. I feel the electronic charts were also an issue. If we had the paper chart it would have been out and would have been in view without having to make several keystrokes to access the chart and clutter up the electronic displays. In the future I will slow down and not assume anything. Exercise greater care when operating at an unfamiliar airport and especially when flying with a new copilot on a different model airplane than you have been flying.
