Radar vectoring is achieved by issuing a pilot specific headings to maintain a desired track. The controller must, therefore, take into account the wind.
When vectoring IFR flights the controller will issue clearancs so that the required obstacle clearance exists at all times. In the UK those clearances are specified in the AIP (ENR) section 1.6
