Narrative:

I was the captain on air carrier flight xyz on apr/fri/97 (L1011). We were departing dfw for atl. Our pre departure clearance called for a worth 6 departure. The first officer and I reviewed the departure and discussed the initial radial of dfw VOR. Neither one of us had been into dfw since all of the departures had been changed. I do not remember reading the initial heading of 174 degrees, but I had just assumed that to be the case. As we were cleared for takeoff, the first officer responded to the 'takeoff briefing' challenge with 'heading 120 degrees, 10000 ft, normal speed.' I questioned the 120 degree heading and he said that he was sure that he had read it correctly. We took off and turned to a 120 degree heading. Departure control gave us a 170 degree heading and asked how we got the turn. We told him 'from the SID' and he said that air carrier needed to check it out. We rechked the SID and discovered the first officer had used the wilie 1 SID (for turboprops). We should have discussed the heading at the gate, and I should have checked it before takeoff. I have suggested to air carrier that as we have no turboprops, the appropriate chart be removed from our books.

Narrative: I WAS THE CAPT ON ACR FLT XYZ ON APR/FRI/97 (L1011). WE WERE DEPARTING DFW FOR ATL. OUR PDC CALLED FOR A WORTH 6 DEP. THE FO AND I REVIEWED THE DEP AND DISCUSSED THE INITIAL RADIAL OF DFW VOR. NEITHER ONE OF US HAD BEEN INTO DFW SINCE ALL OF THE DEPS HAD BEEN CHANGED. I DO NOT REMEMBER READING THE INITIAL HDG OF 174 DEGS, BUT I HAD JUST ASSUMED THAT TO BE THE CASE. AS WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF, THE FO RESPONDED TO THE 'TKOF BRIEFING' CHALLENGE WITH 'HDG 120 DEGS, 10000 FT, NORMAL SPD.' I QUESTIONED THE 120 DEG HDG AND HE SAID THAT HE WAS SURE THAT HE HAD READ IT CORRECTLY. WE TOOK OFF AND TURNED TO A 120 DEG HDG. DEP CTL GAVE US A 170 DEG HDG AND ASKED HOW WE GOT THE TURN. WE TOLD HIM 'FROM THE SID' AND HE SAID THAT ACR NEEDED TO CHK IT OUT. WE RECHKED THE SID AND DISCOVERED THE FO HAD USED THE WILIE 1 SID (FOR TURBOPROPS). WE SHOULD HAVE DISCUSSED THE HDG AT THE GATE, AND I SHOULD HAVE CHKED IT BEFORE TKOF. I HAVE SUGGESTED TO ACR THAT AS WE HAVE NO TURBOPROPS, THE APPROPRIATE CHART BE REMOVED FROM OUR BOOKS.
