Narrative:

Arriving from bermuda, with no passenger, a crew of 3 pilots and a flight attendant, we were making a stop in clt to clear customs. Our preferred runway was runway 37R due to the short taxi to FBO. We did receive runway 36R for arrival and assumed it to be our departure runway as well, for they were using runway 36R for departures. While the captain was clearing customs, I received the clearance outbound with the help of the relief pilot with whom I would be flying this empty leg to avl. We received the hornet 1 departure which states, after departing off runway 36R at the 2.5 DME turn right to a heading of 025 degrees then expect radar vectors. This was briefed between myself (the PF) and the PNF. We contacted ground control, which directed us to runway 36L. We told him that we are requesting runway 36R due to the shorter taxi. His reply was the taxi may be shorter, but the wait time would be longer due to our direction of flight. We then accepted the taxi clearance to runway 36L. After departure off runway 36L at the 2.5 DME, we turned right to a heading of 025 degrees, just as we had briefed. However, the departure procedure for runway 36L called for a left turn to 330 degrees. Contact with departure was normal and we were given a radar vector toward our destination. Nothing was mentioned to us by departure control about the turn.
