Narrative:
Clearance was heading 180 degrees, climb 10000'. On heading 180 degrees climbing through 6000', +/-200'. Departure control: 'right turn 090 degrees, amend altitude 7000.' pilot: 'departure, are you sure you want a right turn to 090 degrees?' departure control: (forcefully) 'yes sir, right turn 090 degrees, amend altitude 7000.' pilot: 'roger, right 090 degrees, climb to 7000.' 3-4 mins later, departure control: 'what's your heading?' pilot: '340-350 degrees in a right turn to 090 degrees.' silence, 20-30 seconds or less.

Title: FLT CREW OF LGT CLEARED TO 090 DEGREES TURNED RIGHT FROM 180 DEGREES, BUT CORRECTED BY DEP CTLR WHO HAD INTENDED FOR THE FLT TO TURN 90 DEGREES TO 270 DEGREE HEADING.
Narrative: CLRNC WAS HDG 180 DEGS, CLB 10000'. ON HDG 180 DEGS CLBING THROUGH 6000', +/-200'. DEP CTL: 'RIGHT TURN 090 DEGS, AMEND ALT 7000.' PLT: 'DEP, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT A RIGHT TURN TO 090 DEGS?' DEP CTL: (FORCEFULLY) 'YES SIR, RIGHT TURN 090 DEGS, AMEND ALT 7000.' PLT: 'ROGER, RIGHT 090 DEGS, CLB TO 7000.' 3-4 MINS LATER, DEP CTL: 'WHAT'S YOUR HDG?' PLT: '340-350 DEGS IN A RIGHT TURN TO 090 DEGS.' SILENCE, 20-30 SECS OR LESS.
