Why is it that we are quite often given a heading that is clearly pointed directly at a VOR (it may just be my imagination, but this mostly happens leaving the London area heading towards DVR)?
You can tell that the controller is pointing you at the VOR, because as the VOR QDM drifts off a little you are given a new heading to correct. (I must say that they are usually very good at getting the heading right.)
So the question is, if you want us to be pointing towards DVR why don't you just tell us and leave us to work it out?
Sometimes the same thing happens on a SID, when we are given radar headings that neatly fly the SID for us.
As ever, only curious
