Narrative:

Location: phx. Last leg of 3 day trip. Heavier closeout required recalculation of takeoff data. Tower wanted to fit us in before the next landing aircraft, and asked if we were ready. We said yes, did a hastier than normal takeoff brief and took off. Started to turn south toward tfd radials at 4 DME instead of 9 DME. Departure saw our error, told us the turn was at 9 DME and gave us a heading. When the dust cleared, we asked if we had caused any conflicts. He said no, that we were ok. Lesson learned: don't rush to comply -- period. Supplemental information from acn 428949:phx pusch 1 departure 4 DME off runway 26L. Thoroughly briefed pusch 1 departure from phx runway 26L. Did not get to do last min review with first officer just prior to takeoff as I normally do because of new tps and tower pressure to get airborne before next arrival aircraft. Taking of west, I turned to 240 degree heading and at 4 DME below 3100 ft, started an early turn to 140 degrees and stanfield instead of 9 DME per the departure. Complacency: rushing to comply and disrupting habit patterns led to this breakdown. I will redouble my efforts to slow down when in a hurry until I know I have got it right.

Title: A DEPARTING S80 MAKES AN EARLY TURN TOWARDS TFD VOR ON THE PHX PUSCH 1 DEP PROC.

Narrative: LOCATION: PHX. LAST LEG OF 3 DAY TRIP. HEAVIER CLOSEOUT REQUIRED RECALCULATION OF TKOF DATA. TWR WANTED TO FIT US IN BEFORE THE NEXT LNDG ACFT, AND ASKED IF WE WERE READY. WE SAID YES, DID A HASTIER THAN NORMAL TKOF BRIEF AND TOOK OFF. STARTED TO TURN S TOWARD TFD RADIALS AT 4 DME INSTEAD OF 9 DME. DEP SAW OUR ERROR, TOLD US THE TURN WAS AT 9 DME AND GAVE US A HDG. WHEN THE DUST CLRED, WE ASKED IF WE HAD CAUSED ANY CONFLICTS. HE SAID NO, THAT WE WERE OK. LESSON LEARNED: DON'T RUSH TO COMPLY -- PERIOD. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 428949:PHX PUSCH 1 DEP 4 DME OFF RWY 26L. THOROUGHLY BRIEFED PUSCH 1 DEP FROM PHX RWY 26L. DID NOT GET TO DO LAST MIN REVIEW WITH FO JUST PRIOR TO TKOF AS I NORMALLY DO BECAUSE OF NEW TPS AND TWR PRESSURE TO GET AIRBORNE BEFORE NEXT ARR ACFT. TAKING OF W, I TURNED TO 240 DEG HDG AND AT 4 DME BELOW 3100 FT, STARTED AN EARLY TURN TO 140 DEGS AND STANFIELD INSTEAD OF 9 DME PER THE DEP. COMPLACENCY: RUSHING TO COMPLY AND DISRUPTING HABIT PATTERNS LED TO THIS BREAKDOWN. I WILL REDOUBLE MY EFFORTS TO SLOW DOWN WHEN IN A HURRY UNTIL I KNOW I HAVE GOT IT RIGHT.
