CITATION C550 FLT CREW HAS A TRACK HDG DEV ON THE SCOTS5.SCOT DEP FROM SDL.

Narrative

DEPARTING SDL WE WERE GIVEN THE SCOTTSDALE 5 DEP. AFTER BOTH PLTS REVIEWED THEIR EFB'S; NEITHER PLT FOUND THE VERBIAGE FOR THE DEP PROC FOR RWY 21. IN WHICH CASE WE WERE EXPECTING RWY HDG TO 5000 FT. ON CHKING IN WITH DEP CTL; WE RPTED CLBING TO 5000 FT EXPECTING RADAR VECTORS TO OUR FIRST FIX. BOTH PLTS ARE VERY EXPERIENCED PLTS AND AFTER DISCUSSING THE INCIDENT; AFTER DEP CTL BROUGHT THE FACT TO THE PLT'S ATTN; THAT THEY HAD NOT MADE THE INITIAL TURN TO 330 DEGS; BOTH PLTS THOUGHT THAT THE INFO NEEDED WAS DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT FROM THE EFB. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BECAUSE THE FULL PAGE VIEW OF THE SID; AS DISPLAYED ON THE EFB IS VERY SMALL PRINT; ONE HAS TO ENLARGE THE VIEW SO AS TO READ THE PRINT. IN DOING SO SECTIONS OF THE PAGE ARE CUT OUT AND VERY EASILY MISSED IN THE REVIEW. THE INFO BOXES ARE SCATTERED AROUND THE PAGE MAKING ONE JUMP AROUND ALL OVER THE PAGE TO RETRIEVE ALL INFO NEEDED. MAYBE SOME DIFFERENT TYPE OF FORMATTING FOR THE EFB'S WOULD BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE. FOR EXAMPLE BOTH OF THE BOXED INFO ITEMS IN THE UPPER R-HAND PORTION OF THE PLATE WERE NOTICED. PLTS THEN SCROLLED TO THE L-HAND BORDER LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL DEP PROCS. NEEDED INFORMATION WAS IN FACT LOCATED IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE PLATE. IT SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED THAT BOTH PLTS INDEPENDENTLY REVIEWED THE DEP PLATE ON SEPARATE EFB'S; BOTH MISSED CRITICAL INFO.
