With the initial right turn off 16R "as soon as practicable" but generally somewhere between 500'-1000' and cloud base of approx 2000', why would you turn left if still in VMC? Could be a very good reason not to chuck the autopilot in straight away.

The report should make for some interesting reading. Air Asia X obviously like to keep the ATSB busy!
