Hi ATCO1962
Currently Beijing has three paralleled runway 36L/R and 01,normally we will issue the initial heading 330/360/030,but a problem is west wind prevailed at our airport is ,so if there is a strong west wind,the departure aircraft from middle runway will drift to the upwind of runway 01,it is ok to make 36R and 01 to departure traffic dependly,but that can not expedite the flowment,so we issue the initial track 360,that is what we do now,but some pilots think it is not good to issue the track, what do you think?
