Just a very quick question on something that always puzzles me whenever I hear it on the RT.
There are times when we're own-navigating to a waypoint and then the controller will ask us to continue on the heading.
Now, if I am manning the radio for the flight, I will simply reply with something like "Continue on the heading, <callsign>".
However, quite a few guys I fly with reply with "Continue on the heading and that's 325 degrees, <callsign>"
My question is, do you really need to know the heading if you're asking us to continue on the heading? I know that sometimes we're asked "Continue on the heading and what is that heading?" and in which case it's clear cut but what if you don't ask for the heading? Do you want to know it? Are we wasting valuable RT time?
Thank you!
