SNS3Guppy - if only it were that simple.

The introduction of the use of the word degrees was brought about because aircrew often climbed to the heading i.e. FL100 instead of heading 100. That is the only reason why we have to do it.

That is why it is not mandatory to use it on headings ending in '5' -because we use the semi circular rule.
