You got that right pilot. First thing I learned in flying airplanes.

Has takeoff heading become unimportant? What happened to pausing after
taking runway and before applying takeoff power to check heading, reset
heading gyro as necessary, etc? Runway 22, aircraft magnetic heading should
be 220. Runway 26, aircraft mag heading = 260, etc. If you think you're on
22, you're looking for heading 220, not 260.
