Narrative:

We taxied out for runway 27 whitewater departure. During taxi; we were given a runway change to runway 36C. We set up the radios; looked at the narrative and departed. The procedure calls for a turn at .5 cvg to 330 degree radial. That is exactly what I did. However; if you look at the charted portion of the procedure; it suggests that the turn should be made at .5 cvg north of cvg. That distinction; I believe; used to be in the narrative portion of the procedure in the previous edition of whitewater departure. This distinction/clarification would be helpful in the narrative so that we don't have to search for all the information.

Title: CAPT OF CARJ RPTS DESCRIPTION OF WHITEWATER DEP FROM RWY 36C AT CVG IS INACCURATE.

Narrative: WE TAXIED OUT FOR RWY 27 WHITEWATER DEP. DURING TAXI; WE WERE GIVEN A RWY CHANGE TO RWY 36C. WE SET UP THE RADIOS; LOOKED AT THE NARRATIVE AND DEPARTED. THE PROC CALLS FOR A TURN AT .5 CVG TO 330 DEG RADIAL. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. HOWEVER; IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHARTED PORTION OF THE PROC; IT SUGGESTS THAT THE TURN SHOULD BE MADE AT .5 CVG N OF CVG. THAT DISTINCTION; I BELIEVE; USED TO BE IN THE NARRATIVE PORTION OF THE PROC IN THE PREVIOUS EDITION OF WHITEWATER DEP. THIS DISTINCTION/CLARIFICATION WOULD BE HELPFUL IN THE NARRATIVE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH FOR ALL THE INFO.
