Narrative

ON INITIAL CLB FROM RENO WE WERE ASKED WHY WE WERE NOT TRACKING LOC OUTBOUND. WHEN WE EXPLAINED THE NEW CHART PROC AND NOTAM INSTRUCTED US TO FLY ATC HDG AND WE WERE STILL ON RWY HDG AWAITING HDG ASSIGNMENT. WE WERE ADVISED BY DEP THAT THERE HAD BEEN NO CHANGES TO PROC AND WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TRACKING LOC. ATC CLRNC FROM RNO WAS RENO 4 RADAR VECTORS TO J92. RENO 4 IS A NEW CHART THAT HAS CHANGED THE DEP PROC TO FLY ASSIGNED HDG RATHER THAN TRACK THE LOC OUTBOUND. THERE IS ALSO AN FDC NOTAM ISSUED TO SHOW THE SAME THING; FLY HDG OFF OF RWY 16R RATHER THAN TRACK LOC OUTBOUND. WHILE ON INITIAL CLB WE ACCEPTED WIND DRIFT THAT TOOK US TO THE E OF LOC COURSE. WHEN ASKED BY ATC WHY WE WERE NOT ON COURSE AND EXPLAINING THE CHART AND NOTAM; WE WERE TOLD BY CTLR THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES TO DEP PROC AND WE MUST TRACK LOC. NOT UP TO HIM TO ASSIGN HDG. REVIEW CHART PROC OFF OF RWY 16R RNO. REISSUE CORRECTED CHART; CORRECTED NOTAM OR ADVISE FACILITY INVOLVED OF CHANGES WHEN THEY HAPPEN.
