Hi, guys I've been working as LCC F/O about 1yrs with B737NG-800.

recently I flew VMMC/MFM. I used CONGA 2T SID for DEPARTURE.

MACAU AIRPORT R34 HEADING IS 343. and CONGA 2T SID initial procedure description is 'Climb on 358 track to 400', turn RIGHT, direct to LATOP' so, initial track is offset 15 degree.

Therefore, I cannot arm LNAV on the ground, and selected HDG SEL and set HDG 358 . After take-off, at 50ft, hdg sel is engaged and FD lateral guide shows right turn to 358.

That makes me confuse. as far as i know 'no turn should not be initiated until pass 400ft.'

So, I want to know which one is right. Shou ld I turn and maintain 358 after T/O or maintain rwy hdg until passing 400ft then go direct to LATOP??

how's your company procedure for offset track?
