Narrative:

I was flying with new low time (in type) first officer. So, I did a very thorough predep briefing, including the reading of the boarder 2 SID from phx to lax. After takeoff, 240 degree heading was established as per SID, however, a turn to 280 degrees was done in error at 4.2 DME instead of 13.0 DME. I told first officer to turn back left to 240 degrees. Departure control called and asked if we were heading 240 degrees. I told him we were in a left turn back to 240 degrees. I had a yellow TA on TCASII from departure off of parallel runway. Solution: when paired with low time pilots in type, additional emphasis needs to be placed on heading and altitude requirements of SID just before taking runway for takeoff, even though a briefing had been done previously.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: MD80 ERRONEOUSLY TURNS EARLY ON SID PHX AND RECEIVES TCASII TA.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING WITH NEW LOW TIME (IN TYPE) FO. SO, I DID A VERY THOROUGH PREDEP BRIEFING, INCLUDING THE READING OF THE BOARDER 2 SID FROM PHX TO LAX. AFTER TKOF, 240 DEG HDG WAS ESTABLISHED AS PER SID, HOWEVER, A TURN TO 280 DEGS WAS DONE IN ERROR AT 4.2 DME INSTEAD OF 13.0 DME. I TOLD FO TO TURN BACK L TO 240 DEGS. DEP CTL CALLED AND ASKED IF WE WERE HDG 240 DEGS. I TOLD HIM WE WERE IN A L TURN BACK TO 240 DEGS. I HAD A YELLOW TA ON TCASII FROM DEP OFF OF PARALLEL RWY. SOLUTION: WHEN PAIRED WITH LOW TIME PLTS IN TYPE, ADDITIONAL EMPHASIS NEEDS TO BE PLACED ON HDG AND ALT REQUIREMENTS OF SID JUST BEFORE TAKING RWY FOR TKOF, EVEN THOUGH A BRIEFING HAD BEEN DONE PREVIOUSLY.
