Narrative:

We were given and flew the peeer 1 gmn transition RNAV SID at smo. We did a noise abatement takeoff. At 600 ft navigation mode was engaged on the flight director. At 1000 ft; just prior to waadr; the autoplt was engaged. According to ATC (socal) we started a turn toward twine too early (approximately 6 mi from peeer). This caused us to lose separation with an aircraft tracking northbound up the coast. We were given multiple vectors and altitude changes to resolve conflict. It was partly cloudy and we never saw the other aircraft. Our TCAS was inoperative at the time. It was later discovered that our FMS was programmed to a (shallow) 7 degree bank angle; which caused an earlier than normal turn. The aircraft was new from the factory (less than 30 hours). The bank angle is set in a maintenance page on the FMS. The turn is over 100 degrees. Corrective actions: always doublechk FMS settings in future. Peeer departure may need to be re-evaluated. Make peeer a fly-over point? Limit aircraft use with inoperative TCAS.

Title: CITATION CE560XL FLT CREW HAS A TRACK HDG DEV DURING DEP FROM SMO.

Narrative: WE WERE GIVEN AND FLEW THE PEEER 1 GMN TRANSITION RNAV SID AT SMO. WE DID A NOISE ABATEMENT TKOF. AT 600 FT NAV MODE WAS ENGAGED ON THE FLT DIRECTOR. AT 1000 FT; JUST PRIOR TO WAADR; THE AUTOPLT WAS ENGAGED. ACCORDING TO ATC (SOCAL) WE STARTED A TURN TOWARD TWINE TOO EARLY (APPROX 6 MI FROM PEEER). THIS CAUSED US TO LOSE SEPARATION WITH AN ACFT TRACKING NBOUND UP THE COAST. WE WERE GIVEN MULTIPLE VECTORS AND ALT CHANGES TO RESOLVE CONFLICT. IT WAS PARTLY CLOUDY AND WE NEVER SAW THE OTHER ACFT. OUR TCAS WAS INOP AT THE TIME. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT OUR FMS WAS PROGRAMMED TO A (SHALLOW) 7 DEG BANK ANGLE; WHICH CAUSED AN EARLIER THAN NORMAL TURN. THE ACFT WAS NEW FROM THE FACTORY (LESS THAN 30 HRS). THE BANK ANGLE IS SET IN A MAINT PAGE ON THE FMS. THE TURN IS OVER 100 DEGS. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: ALWAYS DOUBLECHK FMS SETTINGS IN FUTURE. PEEER DEP MAY NEED TO BE RE-EVALUATED. MAKE PEEER A FLY-OVER POINT? LIMIT ACFT USE WITH INOP TCAS.
