F-16 STD HDG

If I take off, fly my mission, and land, when i shut the plane down, do i have to do a norm alignment before i shut it down in order to use std hdg when i start up, or do i not have to do that?

After landing you shut down the plane, and if you don't move it before next take off, a Stored heading alignment will do it (no need of a normal alignment).
