Narrative:

Tower gave 105 degree heading after takeoff on runway 12L at stl. After switching to departure control, was then told to intercept the published departure assigned. Aircraft went slightly south of course. Departure control then gave us a 090 degree heading to intercept the radial. Complied with and intercepted departure radial. No other problems.

Narrative: TWR GAVE 105 DEG HDG AFTER TKOF ON RWY 12L AT STL. AFTER SWITCHING TO DEP CTL, WAS THEN TOLD TO INTERCEPT THE PUBLISHED DEP ASSIGNED. ACFT WENT SLIGHTLY S OF COURSE. DEP CTL THEN GAVE US A 090 DEG HDG TO INTERCEPT THE RADIAL. COMPLIED WITH AND INTERCEPTED DEP RADIAL. NO OTHER PROBS.
