"Newps" wrote in message news:UTcpb.88415$e01.290862@attbi_s02... In order to get a vector off the ground you have to be seen by the radar facility within a half mile of the airport. So you can't wander into anything. Is "proceed on course, contact departure" a vector?

Is "proceed on course, contact departure" a vector? No. That's a VFR tower instruction. A vector is an actual heading to fly.

And all this time I thought a heading was a "heading", and a heading and altitude instruction was a "vector". Tom "We have vectors, Victor!!".
