In the UK: "turn right HEADING 020 DEGREES"
PLease lose the "degrees "part if you are issueing a heading and not a turn.

Correct is: ABC123, Turn right heading 020.
much safer as it avoids thinking you need to turn 20 DEGREES!
not entirely our fault. Its a NATS thing wereby we have been told to say degrees at the end of every heading that ends in a zero. Its supposed to stop confusion between headings and levels. It does work where the holding headings are very similar to the levels of the sector.
