Departed 13L on the kingdom departure. Instructions called for a 190 heading up to 3000 feet. After taking up heading tower instructed us to resume runway heading. I questioned it. Controller said that is for props only. I later called tower and asked. Because nowhere does it state props only. Controller said it was ok. It's a confusing departure especially when received by PDC. Controller pointed out on departure plate in fine print #3 states; 'jet aircraft contact tower for instructions.' This should be in larger text so it does not happen again. No other aircraft involved.
CE680 First Officer reported departing DAL on the Kingdom departure from Runway 13L and heading 190 as instructed in the initial climb box. ATC advises to fly runway heading; that the 190 heading is for props only and that note 3 at the top of the departure chart instructs all jet aircraft to contact Clearance Delivery for departure instructions.
