B737-300 CREW HAD #2 ENG OVERHEAT DEPARTING S AT RNO. THE FO TURNED EARLY TO INTERCEPT THE SID RADIAL.

Narrative

WE WERE PLANNING TKOF FROM RWY 16R; BUT TWR CLRED US RWY 16L. WE FINISHED THE TKOF CHKLIST AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE RWY. AS WE ROTATED; WE GOT A #2 ENG OVERTEMP RED LIGHT ON THE GAUGE. AS WE CLBED OUT; I REDUCED THE #2 MOTOR TO GET RID OF THE LIGHT WHILE CLEANING UP. THEN THE FO'S FLT DIRECTOR STARTED GIVING HIM PROBS (WENT TO BACK COURSE AS WE CROSSED THE NAVAID) AND I TURNED OFF HIS FLT DIRECTOR AND TOLD HIM TO FLY THE COURSE DEV INDICATOR. WE WERE NEXT CLRED TO SWITCH DEP. I HAD TO DIAL IN DEP FREQ AND WAS HEADS DOWN. THE FO THEN STARTED TO TURN L AT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS IRNO FOR THE FMG FIX (RWY 16L DME WAS OUT). I LOOKED L AND SAW THAT WE WERE TOO LOW AND I CAME BACK TO HIS INSTS AND TOLD HIM TO TURN BACK R TO CTR THE COURSE DEV INDICATOR. WE JOINED THE DEP RADIAL (NO ALERTS) AND THEN TURNED L TO FMG WITH DEP'S CONCURRENCE AT 9000 FT. MY FO WAS TRYING TO TURN EARLY IRNO FIX USING HIS FMC; VICE FLYING OVER IT. ALSO; PART OF THE CONFUSION WAS THE LACK OF OPERATING DME ON RWY 16L ILS FREQ; THUS BEING FORCED TO FLY OVER AN INS FIX IN A SINGLE FMC AIRPLANE AND NO MOVING MAP. A LOT HAPPENED IN A SHORT TIME AND I WILL TAKE MORE TIME ON THE DEP BRIEF TO ENSURE EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE! SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 589884: NEW DATA WAS ACCOMPLISHED/VERIFIED AND TKOF COMMENCED. I NOTICED AN IRREGULARITY WITH MY FLT DIRECTOR (PROBABLY DUE TO DIALING UP THE IRNO FOR THE MUSTANG 6 DEP). I WAS ALSO NOT RECEIVING THE IRNO DME; WHICH WAS NEEDED FOR THE TURN TOWARDS THE FMG VOR. I SELECTED THE 'LEGS' PAGE OF THE FMS AND BEGAN TO LEAD MY TURN TO 'BIJTU' BY 1 MI. THE CAPT NOTED MY ERROR AND CORRECTED ME BACK TO THE LOC COURSE. ONE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE DEV WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING BTWN RNO CLRNC DELIVERY AND MYSELF. I UNDERSTOOD HER TO TELL ME THAT THE FMG DME WAS OTS; AS OPPOSED TO THE IRNO LOC DME OTS. ONE TOOL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL IS THE MOVING MAP DISPLAY. LESSON LEARNED: OVERFLY THE IRNO LOC DME BEFORE MAKING THE TURN DUE TO HIGH TERRAIN. TWR/DEP APPEARED SATISFIED WITH OUR CORRECTED ACTIONS.
