Narrative:

Flight began after obtaining a ferry permit for an airplane that was sold to the buyer with an expired annual inspection. This was an unexpected issue when I arrived to fly the airplane back to the new owners home airport. The airplane involved in the incident was a cirrus SR22 with the aftermarket avidyne R9 avionics package installed. This was my first time flying this airplane and the R9 avionics. Several days before the flight I tried locating training or reference materials to familiarize myself with the avionics system. Since its an aftermarket installation; cirrus aircraft did not have any training material I could utilize. After reviewing the manufactures website; public training material was very limited. Once in the airplane I reviewed the pilot quick reference guide on the basic system operation. My understanding of operation of the R9 was still very limited at this point. To add to the stress of flying an unfamiliar airplane and avionics; this was my first time flying in the las vegas class bravo area. I did review the departure procedures for the...airport prior to arrival. When I was receiving my clearance...ground control; I had trouble understanding the clearance due to the fact it was my first time flying out the north las vegas airport and the las vegas class bravo airspace as well as it being a bit complicated. As I was attempting enter the clearance and flight route into the unfamiliar avionics system; I got frustrated with it not being easily entered and got fixated with trying enter the bld radial portion of the clearance. I advertantly entered the boulder city one obstacle departure instead of the rightturn one departure. When I reviewed my entries of the flight plan in the system I was fixated on the bld portion of the clearance and I missed that I entered the wrong procedure. Once airborne; I was issued the turn to the right off of the runway...to begin the departure procedure. I thought all was going well when the airplane; on autopilot; began a turn to the left. As it began the turn; the controller asked if I was going to turn (to intercept the 312 radial off of las to join the RTTRN1 procedure that was expected). It was at this point I realized something was wrong. Because something was wrong; I disconnected the autopilot and began flying by hand. I manually turned to the right to a heading approximately 305 degrees. Since I had the wrong departure procedure entered into the flight plan in the avionics; I also had the wrong procedure plate in front of me. Flying manually I doubled checked my clearance and realized that I was executing the wrong procedure. I then tried to change the CDI selector from the FMS to navigation 1 display because the las VOR was tuned into navigation 1. I did this in an attempt to join the 313 radial oof of las. Being unfamiliar with how to do so; I didn't do it in a timely manner and got off course. Realizing I was off course I tried selecting the heading mode with the heading bug and engage the autopilot to reduce my workload. Again being unfamiliar with the operation of the avionics it took me extra time to properly set the autopilot. Again I passed through the depicted 313 degree radial. I was given another assigned heading and then was asked to call the control facility. The remaining portion of the exit out of class bravo and completion of the flight was uneventful.

Title: SR22 Pilot atrributed track deviations and loading the wrong departure procedure to unfamiliarity with the aftermarket flight management system installed in the aircraft.
