8.6.5 - Vectoring

8.6.5.1 Vectoring shall be achieved by issuing to the pilot specific headings which will enable the aircraft to maintain the desired track. When vectoring an aircraft, a controller shall comply with the following:...

Vectoring is often a fast-paced process, and there is not much time for pilots of older aircraft (no track readout) to calculate wind corrections in order to fly correct tracks. This is why ATC issue vectors as headings, and do the wind corrections themselves (when required).
