Cancel SID maintain runway heading (or track).
Very common to hear...

"Cancel SID maintain runway heading" or

"Cancel SID maintain runway track"

I have listened to many pilots who ALL had an OPINION on what was meant by each expression.

I would like to hear from ATCOs on their version.

eg There is a crosswind of 18 knots. Do you mean HEADING so airborne it becomes a vector, or TRACK to follow the extended centreline?

NOW IS TIME FOR PILOTS TO LISTEN. I HAVE ENOUGH PILOT OPINIONS THANKS.
