Narrative:

On departure out of san jose, we were supposed to depart to the southeast. While holding short of the runway, a storm came through with a wind shift. Our original SID was runway heading to radar vectors. We taxied to the new runway but failed to review the SID for the new runway. On departure, we were supposed to turn at about 1.8 NM. We caught our mistake and started the turn at about 5 NM. The turn was a teardrop to gain altitude and we eventually continued our departure to the northwest. The fact that the departure radial was so closely aligned with the departure runway we did not expect the required turn. The WX/wind shift and last min runway change was also a contributing factor.

Title: TRACK DEV ON SID AFTER RWY CHANGE.

Narrative: ON DEP OUT OF SAN JOSE, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DEPART TO THE SE. WHILE HOLDING SHORT OF THE RWY, A STORM CAME THROUGH WITH A WIND SHIFT. OUR ORIGINAL SID WAS RWY HDG TO RADAR VECTORS. WE TAXIED TO THE NEW RWY BUT FAILED TO REVIEW THE SID FOR THE NEW RWY. ON DEP, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TURN AT ABOUT 1.8 NM. WE CAUGHT OUR MISTAKE AND STARTED THE TURN AT ABOUT 5 NM. THE TURN WAS A TEARDROP TO GAIN ALT AND WE EVENTUALLY CONTINUED OUR DEP TO THE NW. THE FACT THAT THE DEP RADIAL WAS SO CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THE DEP RWY WE DID NOT EXPECT THE REQUIRED TURN. THE WX/WIND SHIFT AND LAST MIN RWY CHANGE WAS ALSO A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
