I do not have a high level can, 3/4 in front of me, but I think you guys are correct, above 60, although I think the lateral tracks A,B,C,etc true, but extend below the ADIZ, say ending at Uranium city, or Ft Smith, cannot remember exactly, ( actually is`nt Ft Smith on 60?) anyway, and I am sure ATC guys can correct me, but I always believed that when we are put on a heading, as per maintain current heading when you are already INS to a point, it allows for drift, I think this because I see it quite a bit over say Rhine, and the previaling wind will then take us away from same level traffic on TCAS whereas the INS track will correct, correct?
