This is another example where the flight crew was either too busy or preoccupied with other duties, or navigation equipment problems just after lift off from dca runway 36 to adhere precisely to noise abatement prohibited area avoidance procedures. In this case, flight crew attempted to correct their intercept heading, which wasn't quick or far enough. Aircraft entered P-56, radar controller intervened and gave them a heading to expedite their exit from the area.

Narrative:
On departure out of dca, we were advised of an incursion into P56B airspace. The WX was low overcast, windy, and turbulent, we intercepted the initial course of 343 degrees off of dca VOR and followed it to the 2.5 DME fix. At that time we turned to 310 degrees and selected VOR/localizer and the 328 degree radial on the dca VOR. The command bars indicated a right turn, which we followed. By the time we realized that the heading would not get us to the prescribed course, the controller was telling us to turn to 320 degree heading. We were asked to make a phone call after we got to ewr and the captain did. There was a lot of back ground noise on departure frequency. Other people talking in back ground, this improved after my third transmission to that affect.

Title: THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE THE FLC WAS EITHER TOO BUSY OR PREOCCUPIED WITH OTHER DUTIES, OR NAV EQUIP PROBS JUST AFTER LIFT OFF FROM DCA RWY 36 TO ADHERE PRECISELY TO NOISE ABATEMENT PROHIBITED AREA AVOIDANCE PROCS. IN THIS CASE, FLC ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THEIR INTERCEPT HEADING, WHICH WASN'T QUICK OR FAR ENOUGH. ACFT ENTERED P-56, RADAR CTLR INTERVENED AND GAVE THEM A HEADING TO EXPEDITE THEIR EXIT FROM THE AREA.
Narrative: ON DEP OUT OF DCA, WE WERE ADVISED OF AN INCURSION INTO P56B AIRSPACE. THE WX WAS LOW OVCST, WINDY, AND TURBULENT, WE INTERCEPTED THE INITIAL COURSE OF 343 DEGS OFF OF DCA VOR AND FOLLOWED IT TO THE 2.5 DME FIX. AT THAT TIME WE TURNED TO 310 DEGS AND SELECTED VOR/LOC AND THE 328 DEG RADIAL ON THE DCA VOR. THE COMMAND BARS INDICATED A R TURN, WHICH WE FOLLOWED. BY THE TIME WE REALIZED THAT THE HEADING WOULD NOT GET US TO THE PRESCRIBED COURSE, THE CTLR WAS TELLING US TO TURN TO 320 DEG HDG. WE WERE ASKED TO MAKE A PHONE CALL AFTER WE GOT TO EWR AND THE CAPT DID. THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK GND NOISE ON DEP FREQ. OTHER PEOPLE TALKING IN BACK GND, THIS IMPROVED AFTER MY THIRD XMISSION TO THAT AFFECT.
