Runway Heading
Hello people,
In Canada if you are assigned runway heading on departure, am I correct that you do not allow for wind correction? Very basic question but this differs in many parts of the world. Can someone please give me a reference in the TC doc's. Thanks intake

Re: Runway Heading
That is correct you do not correct for wind. Runway heading is runway heading. As for the reference in TC's docs I haven't got a clue where that is written down.

Re: Runway Heading
Per TC AIM RAC 7.5
It's not hard to download TC AIM in pdf format and search for "runway heading".When instructed to fly on the runway heading, or when
flying a SID for which no specific heading is published, pilots
are expected to fly or maintain the heading that corresponds
with the extended centreline of the departure runway until
otherwise instructed by ATC. Drift correction must not be
applied, e.g. Runway 04, if the actual magnetic heading of the
runway centreline is 044°, then fly a heading of 044°M.
DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.

Thanks for the reference Photofly. Wasn't hard at all to look it up. Cheers

Re: Runway Heading
Watch out for the term "runway track" when you're flying overseas
Re: Runway Heading
Important on parallel departures to do as published so both aircraft drift similarly with the wind.

Re: Runway Heading
There are some new SID's coming out that specify "Fly Track" such as the new Devon 1 for CYEG. Would have told you to search for it in the AIM but if we were all experts at searching for stuff on our own this forum would only have job ads instead of discussions.

Re: Runway Heading
Ha, The departure for RWY 12 in YEG has always been track to the Leduc beacon, but occasionally when you contact departure, they say "continue runway heading". So after I have been carefully tracking to the beacon with a 20 degree crab, I dutifully turn back to runway heading. I have heard this even after the Devon 1 SID started being used on other runways.
Re: Runway Heading
I like the "Track extended runway center line by best available means" which to me opens up so many possibilities...
