Synopsis
Flight crew failed to accomplish the final turn to 160 degrees on the Morristown 5 SID. First Officer suspects the need to zoom the procedure on the EFB for readability resulted in the loss of the pertinent information.
Narrative
Departing Morristown airport on the Morristown 5 departure; briefed the departure to the pilot flying that at the airport boundary or 500 FT turn to a heading of 210 degrees and climb and maintain 2000 FT. We flew the departure as described and briefed. After we were on the 210 degree heading and within a minute or two of leveling at 2000 FT; departure control asked us if we were turning to a 160 degree heading. I said that we were still on the 210 degree heading and flying the departure procedure. ATC gave us a turn to 160 degrees and the departure was continued on vector headings to the first fix with no further inquiries from ATC. Upon further review of the departure; the continuation of the Morristown 5 was to fly a 160 degree heading after leveling at 2000 FT. I believe the mistake was made when the charts page had to be increased in size to read the departure and in doing so the text was displaced and the last part of the departure did not fill the page completely. Lesson learned always expanded the EFB page completely.
Second reporter narrative
Construction at the airport required the crew to back taxi down the runway atspeed based on the tower's request given the light aircraft in the pattern.About 500 FT from the end of the runway while still back taxiing; the towercleared the aircraft for an immediate takeoff. I believe the time compression created a hurried checklist and the fulldeparture brief was curtailed as both pilots were looking out the windowlooking for traffic in the pattern.
