Hey ya'll,
I have a quick question regarding RNAV departure phraseology. Specifically, are tower controllers required to state that you are cleared for takeoff, RNAV to WHATEVERFIX when you're doing an RNAV departure? Our book says that this phraseology should always be used for RNAV departures, but then I found this, which alludes to the phraseology only applying when there are simultaneous parallel departures in use:

Does this apply ONLY when there are simultaneous parallel departures? Or should this phraseology ALWAYS be used? Our operations manual says that it should always be used no matter what the runway configuration is, but I get the impression that controllers have different guidance on the issue.
