Hey!
Not very sure if this has stuff with ATC to do but I wanna know when holding short runway 26L for an example how do I know where to depart from any airport towards north, south, east or west?
Any tutorials based on this?

You announce what direction you plan to depart the airspace.

According to your flight plan is the best way to announce your departure direction.
Generally speaking the initial heading you establish for your flight will give you your cardinal direction.
E.g. initial track of of 240Ā°, departure to the West.

Like @DiamondGaming4 said, In fact, itās more about the direction youāre going to take if you choose to change course before or after the Localizer finishes. Most of the time in controlled terrain with a lot of traffic, only the āstraight outā is allowed, that is, you have to reach the end of the cone before turning.
