Cleared for Takeoff
Basic question. If I'm departing from a class C, and my instructions are to fly runway heading at or below 3000, when I get to 3000 I can turn in the direction I want, right? I can't find a reference to this in the FAR/AIM. When I was turned over to Dep. Control yesterday, they asked for my requested altitude and told me to climb as requested, but they didn't say anything about heading. I turned, and no one objected.
I realized yesterday that I didn't know if I was supposed to announce my turn or wait for any magic words. I was still way within the class C. I go over to ISP to practice all the time, but I don't originate any flights there.
Thanks.
