Human Factors; Procedure
The departure procedure was to fly the LGA 5 Departure Whitestone climb off of Runway 13. The engine out procedure for Runway 13 is to turn to heading 149 at 1 DME then turn to heading 134 at 2.4 DME. On the fix page; I put a ring at 1 DME from LGA VOR and a ring at 2.4 DME from LGA VOR for the engine out procedure. I should have put a 2.5 mile ring (for the 2 engine LGA departure); but by mistake; I put 4.1 DME ring on the fix page. After takeoff; we turned right heading 180 and at approximately 3 miles; ATC said to turn left heading 340 degrees. We took off in VNAV and heading mode for the departure.
Predeparture briefing we briefed the planned departure. LGA 5 Whitestone climb. The FO read the departure and climbout back to clearance; and at number one holding short of runway 13 I reminded the FO turn to 180 then at 2.5 DME turn left to heading 040 don't exceed 210 knots. We started the takeoff roll and the FO pushed the power above the planned N1. That was a distraction on takeoff.On climb he did not turn to 180 degrees. I had to tell him to turn. I was busy with gear and flaps but I watched the DME and at 2.3 DME I called out coming up on 2.5 he did not turn left. I said turn left he said no it's 4.1 DME. I said no it's left to 040. He said no 340. Now we were well past 2.5 and the tower controller had given us a switch to departure. I was busy trying to get the FO to turn left and I didn't switch. A few seconds later the tower guy says are you still here? I said yes I'm switching now and he said turn left now to 040. Now the FO started turning left. I knew JFK airspace was close by. I switched and the departure guy said make a tight turn to 360. We did. No further issues. The FO had highlighted the wrong climb out on his iPad.
B737 flight crew reported being cleared to depart LGA via the LGA 5 Whitestone climb. The First Officer attempted to fly the Maspeth climb until the Captain and ATC intervened.
