Departing IFR from HWO [I] was asked by HWO if I was familiar with Sheridan Departure. I was; even though it is a non-published procedure. QUESTION - Why is it unpublished? Clearance included the Miami 2 Departure (SID). Departed Runway 10R; Tower gave me a right downwind departure. However; the Sheridan Departure required a left downwind. I requested and received a correction; and departed with a left downwind at or below 1;600. Meanwhile; I had not loaded the Miami 2 Departure in my G1000. I have flown this several times in the past as I have maintenance on my aircraft done at HWO; and did not expect difficulty despite the entry while airborne. Once airborne; and in a 1;500 FT downwind; I attempted to load the Miami 2 Departure. I could not find the SID under HWO nor under MIA. (I have since confirmed with Jeppesen the SID was been omitted from the G1000 database; but the reason for the omission was not provided). Several years ago the Miami Departure could only be downloaded under MIA; and not the other four airfields to which the SID applies. As I had a paper copy; I entered the waypoints. I entered DRUMM and not DRUUM; and turned to a heading provided; to join the first leg of the SID. This was of course wrong; and as I began an erroneous turn; MIA ATC questioned my heading. I request and received a direct HEDLY to which solved the problem. SOLUTION: Publish the Sheridan Departure Procedure. Assure Jeppesen databases are complete with all SIDs and STARs under each airport where they apply.
The reporter stated that what compounded this event was the fact that the VFR to IFR SHERIDAN/SHORELINE departure is not available in the G1000 database nor is it formally published. Someone had given him a copy of the departure. So his question is; why is this not more formal? Also; the Controller's initial heading to right after takeoff confused the issue as did incorrectly entering the DRUMM waypoint.
An pilot departed HWO on the unpublished VFR SHERIDAN/SHORELINE Departure but his G1000 database did not contain it or the following IFR Miami Two Departure segment; so he entered the DRUMM waypoint; instead of DRUUM; and turned toward it. ATC detected the incorrect turn and cleared him on the departure direct HEDLY.
