Narrative:
On climb out (logan 2 SID) we were to turn from heading 036 degrees, right turn to 090 degrees at 4 DME. After switching to departure, the departure controller had us level at 3000 ft instead of the depicted 5000 ft. We were cleaning up the aircraft, became a little distraction, and missed the right turn to 090 degrees at 4 DME. Began the turn at 6 DME. Controller at that time asked us if we had begun the turn, reminded us that the turn was at 4 DME and had us turn further to a 120 degree heading. Too much going on at once!

Narrative: ON CLBOUT (LOGAN 2 SID) WE WERE TO TURN FROM HDG 036 DEGS, R TURN TO 090 DEGS AT 4 DME. AFTER SWITCHING TO DEP, THE DEP CTLR HAD US LEVEL AT 3000 FT INSTEAD OF THE DEPICTED 5000 FT. WE WERE CLEANING UP THE ACFT, BECAME A LITTLE DISTR, AND MISSED THE R TURN TO 090 DEGS AT 4 DME. BEGAN THE TURN AT 6 DME. CTLR AT THAT TIME ASKED US IF WE HAD BEGUN THE TURN, REMINDED US THAT THE TURN WAS AT 4 DME AND HAD US TURN FURTHER TO A 120 DEG HDG. TOO MUCH GOING ON AT ONCE!
