Given. But if you get in the habit of turning the heading bug to the desired heading BEFORE pushing HDG select, no problem. Just pushing HDG without knowing exactly where the bug is, (even if you married them up only 2mins ago they might be off some) never made sense to me.
I agree. Just because ATC says, "Fly heading xxx," I don't scramble to punch a button. Would you hit L-NAV before you saw what the course would do? No.
If it is a collision avoidance issue (as Browntothebone suggests) well, I'm not going to wait for the A/P to turn.
