What is True Course?
The aircraft path over the ground referenced to true north.
What is True Heading?
The direction the longitudinal axis of the airplane points with respect to true north.
What is Magnetic Course?
True course corrected for magnetic variation.
, What is Magnetic Heading?
Magnetic Course corrected for wind (Direction and Speed)
What is Compass Heading?
Aircraft heading read from the compass.
What is Deviation?
Compass error due to magnetic disturbances from electrical/metal parts in the plane.
What is Variation?
The angular difference between true north and magnetic north; isogonic lines on charts.
What is Standard Pressure?
29.92'' Hg (At Sea Level)
What is Standard Temperature?
15 Degrees Celsius (At Sea Level)
