A B757-200 FLT CREW DEP RWY 16L MISREADS THE AERO CHART RELATED TO THE RNO 3 DEP FOR RWY 25 AND TURNS TOWARD 340 DEGS AT 5000 FT MSL BEFORE RECEIVING AN ADVISORY CALL AND REVISED CLRNC FROM DEP CTLR AT RNO.

Narrative

THE CAPT BRIEFED THE RENO 3 DEP FOR TKOF WITH A R TURNOUT AFTER TKOF AT 5000 FT AS DEPICTED ON THE 10-3A PAGE. BECAUSE OF BEING RUSHED FOR TIME HE WAS UNAWARE THAT THE R TURNOUT AFTER DEP WAS FOR RWY 25 ONLY. AT APPROX 7000 FT FO ADVISED CAPT TO TURN BACK S TO A 160 DEG HDG; AT WHICH TIME RNO DEP CTLR REQUESTED OUR ALT AND SAID TO TURN BACK TO A SOUTHERLY HDG. AFTER REACHING 15000 FT; RNO DEP CTLR GAVE A TURN BACK TO FMG VORTAC AND SWITCHED US TO ZOA CTLR. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS ARE THAT THE CAPT HAS NOT FLOWN INTO RNO FOR OVER 7 YRS. THE CAPT WAS RUSHED BECAUSE THE ACFT WAS PARKED AT ANOTHER ACR GATE AND HAD TO TRY THE JETWAY CODE AT GATE THAT DID NOT WORK THEN GO TO OTHER GATE AND GO TO OPS. THE 10-3A CHART IS VERY CONFUSING AND THE DEPICTED DEP PATH CAN AND WAS CONFUSING BECAUSE THE R TURN AT 5000 FT THAT IS MARKED ON THE CHART LOOKS LIKE IT IS ALSO USED FOR RWY 16R/L. IT IS NOT UNTIL YOU READ THE PRINTED RTE ON DEP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE THAT SOMEONE HAS THE FULL PICTURE OF THE DEP PATH. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THIS PROC ON THE CHART BE REWRITTEN ASAP. THE CREW MADE A NORMAL LNDG AT ORD BEFORE FILING THIS RPT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 636679: AFTER TKOF WE TRACKED THE ILS AND CLEANED UP. WE HAD A FREQ CHANGE TO DEP AND CAPT CALLED FOR HDG SELECT. I NOTICED THE TURN OFF ILS BACK COURSE AND THOUGHT I MISSED A CALL DURING THE FREQ CHANGE. I ADVISED WE NEEDED TO STAY ON HDG WHEN I WAS CHKING IN WITH DEP AND PLANNED ON QUERYING HIM ON HDG ASSIGNED. THE CTLR ASKED US OUR ALT AND TOLD US TO TURN BACK TO INTERCEPT BACK COURSE ON A 120 DEG HDG. THE CTLR ASKED WHY WE DEVIATED FROM THE DEP AND I ANSWERED WE MISREAD THE RENO DEP. THE CAPT HAD BRIEFED SEVERAL TIMES 340 DEG HDG AFTER TKOF FOR ENG-OUT PROCS AND WHEN HE GLANCED DOWN AT THE DEP HE HAD SEEN 340 DEG HDG OUT OF 5000 FT BY THE RWY 16R THAT 340 DEG HDG WAS FRESH IN HIS MIND AND STARTED A TURN. WE WERE TOLD BY CTR TO CALL WHEN WE LANDED WITH A POSSIBLE DEV. WE BOTH WERE A LITTLE TIRED FROM EARLY GO. I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE AND THE CAPT HADN'T BEEN THERE IN 10 YRS. THE ENG-OUT PROCS ARE COMPLICATED AND THE RENO DEP IS A BIT CONFUSING IF YOU QUICKLY GLANCE AT IT. RUSHED BECAUSE OF NO GATE CODES FOR GATE PUT US BEHIND.
