Oh no! Not this one again.

PANSOPS - runway track (adjust for drift).

TERPS - fly runway heading, don't correct for drift.

Know what standard the airfield you're operating from employs and follow suit. But most moderm FMC/FMGS driven aircraft these days already know and do it for you. For example, if you're flying an aircaft built in Seattle, you will see the relevant info on the FMA. On a Toulouse finished aircraft you will see C135 for course 135 degrees or H135 for a heading of 135 on the FMGC.
