Talking to departure control
Steven, has "runway heading" always been 044, as in your example. Or
was it previously 040, the painted runway number? On Mon, 3 Nov 2008 13:20:06 -0600, "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote: wrote: Another interesting difference, on the page before this, is the clarification of "fly runway heading". "Runway 04, magnetic heading 044 deg, then fly a heading of 044 deg M" The US regs would be to fly 040 deg M, IIRC. Nope. From the current Pilot/Controller Glossary: RUNWAY HEADING- The magnetic direction that corresponds with the runway centerline extended, not the painted runway number. When cleared to "fly or maintain runway heading," pilots are expected to fly or maintain the heading that corresponds with the extended centerline of the departure runway. Drift correction shall not be applied; e.g., Runway 4, actual magnetic heading of the runway centerline 044, fly 044. |

ISTR that it previously meant to fly the designated runway heading without regard to the actual runway heading. I have several publications from the late-seventies and on that include the Pilot/Controller Glossary. All that include the term "Runway Heading" define it the same way, " The magnetic direction that corresponds with the runway centerline extended, not the painted runway number." One is to fly the runway centerline without making any turns. The actual number for the heading is not overly relevant since the heading is only approximate once airborne. The intent is to not be wandering around until ATC has further instructions for you. |
