THE PLT TURNED R TO HIS DESIRED 200 DEG HDG AFTER TKOF JUST AS HE HAD TOLD THE TWR HE WOULD JUST PRIOR TO TKOF. THE TWR HAD INTENDED HE TURN TO THE L; BUT THE PLT WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS.

Narrative

AN INCORRECT TURN-OUT ON TKOF FROM ORL WAS CAUSED BY MISCOMS BTWN PLT AND TWR. THIS CAUSED A POTENTIAL CONFLICT WITH TFC DEPARTING MCO. ORL WAS USING RWY 7. I CALLED CLRNC DELIVERY BEFORE TAXIING; TO RECEIVE A VFR CLRNC OUT OF CLASS B AIRSPACE; AND STATED MY DEST WAS NAPLES (A HDG OF ABOUT 200 DEGS). THE CLRNC INCLUDED AN ALT RESTR NOT TO EXCEED 1500 FT; A DEP FREQ AND A SQUAWK CODE. NO DEP INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN. WHEN I CONTACTED TWR I WAS GIVEN A POS AND HOLD INSTRUCTION BEHIND ANOTHER DEPARTING ACFT AND ASKED FOR MY DIRECTION OF FLT. I RESPONDED THAT I WANTED A R TURN OUT TO 200 DEGS. SEVERAL SECONDS LATER I WAS GIVEN A TKOF CLRNC; AND TOLD TO MAINTAIN VISUAL SEPARATION FROM THE ACFT IN FRONT WHICH WAS TURNING L. I TOOK OFF AND PROCEEDED TO DO A R TURN AS I HAD REQUESTED. UPON NOTICING THE R TURN THE TWR CTLR TOLD ME I HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO TURN L; THEN TOLD ME TO CONTINUE THE R TURN TO 240 DEGS AND CONTACT DEP. ORLANDO DEP LATER TOLD ME TO CALL THE SUPVR WHEN I LANDED. THIS I DID; AND REPEATED THE STORY TO HIM. HE EXPLAINED THAT TFC DEPARTING RWY 7 MUST NOT TURN R BECAUSE OF THE PROX OF MCO; AND THAT HIS PURPOSE WAS TO GET MY VERSION OF THE STORY. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO INTENTION TO MAKE IT A REPORTABLE INCIDENT. IF I WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR A L TURN IT MUST BEEN ALONG WITH THE TKOF CLRNC; AND I WAS MISUNDERSTOOD. I DON'T THINK I WAS. LESSONS LEARNED: THE BEST PLACE TO GIVE TKOF INSTRUCTIONS; ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A STANDARD PROC; IS WITH THE CLRNC. THIS WAS NOT DONE. THIS IS THE BEST TIME SINCE BOTH PLT AND CTLR ARE NOT UNDER ANY PRESSURE. FURTHER; THIS IS STANDARD PROC AT MANY OTHER ARPTS IN CLASS B AIRSPACE. THE TWR CTLR SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST FOR A R TURN OUT TO 200 DEGS BY SAYING 'UNABLE;' FOLLOWED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE L TURN OUT. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. UPON DETECTING MY ERRONEOUS R TURN; THE FIRST WORDS THE CTLR SHOULD HAVE SAID WAS TO CONTINUE THE TURN TO 240 DEGS. THEN IF TIME PERMITTED TELL ME I HAD MADE AN ERROR. IT WAS DONE THE OTHER WAY AROUND; AND WHILE I WAS BEING SCOLDED; I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
