Narrative:
We were climbing out on the teb 5 SID when the controller issued a clearance to climb to 4000 ft and turn 270 degrees. The frequency was busy and the captain heard 070 degrees and started a turn towards that heading. The controller had us stop climb and we were turned in the proper direction. Both crewmembers are new to the airplane. I think we found ourselves concentrating on programming the airplane and running the after takeoff checklists; and not simply flying the airplane. Another contributing factor was the controller did not preface the turn to 270 degrees with 'left' 270 degrees. Had that not been omitted; the captain would have realized the discrepancy and asked for clarification.

Title: A FLT CREW NEW TO THE G450 BECAME TASK SATURATED AFTER A TEB 5 TAKEOFF AND TURNED THE WRONG DIRECTION FROM TRACON'S INSTRUCTIONS.
Narrative: WE WERE CLBING OUT ON THE TEB 5 SID WHEN THE CTLR ISSUED A CLRNC TO CLB TO 4000 FT AND TURN 270 DEGS. THE FREQUENCY WAS BUSY AND THE CAPT HEARD 070 DEGS AND STARTED A TURN TOWARDS THAT HEADING. THE CTLR HAD US STOP CLB AND WE WERE TURNED IN THE PROPER DIRECTION. BOTH CREWMEMBERS ARE NEW TO THE AIRPLANE. I THINK WE FOUND OURSELVES CONCENTRATING ON PROGRAMMING THE AIRPLANE AND RUNNING THE AFTER TAKEOFF CHKLISTS; AND NOT SIMPLY FLYING THE AIRPLANE. ANOTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTOR WAS THE CTLR DID NOT PREFACE THE TURN TO 270 DEGS WITH 'LEFT' 270 DEGS. HAD THAT NOT BEEN OMITTED; THE CAPT WOULD HAVE REALIZED THE DISCREPANCY AND ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION.
