I am a student pilot. I was out flying solo today and was instructed

that heading.

Did you read back the heading? If you read back 110 and he said nothing,
you're okay, since he should have corrected you.

Bull****, he's okay anyway.

STFU, you're wrong as usual.

Anthony forgets that people don't die in simulators.

They do die in real airplanes, though, and the FAA has held that a
pilot who reads back an erroneous clearance is still required to fly
the one given him by ATC, even if ATC doesn't correct him. But even if
Anthony was correct from a legal standpoint, flying a misunderstood
heading can easily kill you. Then it doesn't matter who was right --
you are the one who is dead.
