Heading function
Heading function - The flight director/autopilot function that steers the aircraft along a specified magnetic heading.
Heading Select: A basic guidance mode, providing lateral guidance to an operator selected heading.
High Season: The season of the year when travel to an area peaks and rates are at their highest.
Runway Heading
Runway Heading refers to the magnetic direction in degrees that corresponds to the centerline of the runway. Runway headings are in increments of ten degrees and no more then two numbers.
Heading Hold
This describes a type of Gyro which senses rotation, and maintains direction. This is accomplished by sensing the rate of motion, and the time of motion, then compensating for the distance.
Heading (2) is the direction the vessel, aircraft or vehicle is truly "pointing towards" (the heading of the ship shown in the image is 058°).
Heading error.
A basic output from guidance to flight director, indicating the difference between actual heading and desired heading; Symbols: DELTA psi; Typical Units: rad, deg; ...
Runway heading
When the aircraft lines up on the runway, verify the compass indication is against the runway numbers. This is just to make sure that you are on the correct runway and that the compass hasn't failed.
heading - The direction in which the longitudinal axis of the airplane points with respect to true or magnetic north. Heading is equal to course plus or minus any wind correction angle.
heavies - See heavy aircraft.
Heading Indicator
Use 45 degree markers on heading indicator to fly 45 degree intercepts to airways, runways and 45 degree holding pattern entries. Common procedure is to only set HI in level un-accelerated flight.
Heading - The direction in which the aircraft is pointing
Heavy - An aircraft that is capable of a takeoff weight of 300,000 lbs or more
HF - High Frequency - radio spectrum located between 3 and 30 MHz
- I - ...
Heading in the direction in which the longitudinal axis (the nose) is pointing.
It is usually expressed as a three-figure group with reference to magnetic north.

Heading
HEAD
(USAF) Target with an aspect aspect of 160 to 180 degrees.
Heading = Course + Wind Correction + Intercept
By way of example, suppose the course is 040, there's about 20 knots of crosswind from the left, and we're cruising at 120 knots.
A heading issued to an aircraft to provide navigational guidance by radar.

SAY HEADING- Used by ATC to request an aircraft heading. The pilot should state the actual heading of the aircraft.
SDF-
(See SIMPLIFIED DIRECTIONAL FACILITY.) ...
Your heading has you pointed for the skyline buildings of Frankfurt, at low altitude. The Main airport tower controllers don't appreciate what you're doing.
HDG: Heading. The direction in which an aircraft's nose points in flight in the horizontal plane, expressed in compass degrees (for example: 000 or 360 is North, 090 is East).
Magnetic Heading The direction an aircraft faces as indicated by a magnetic compass.

Flying a VOR heading or radial is no different than flying your pencil course line on the map. Remember calculating the wind correction angle in order to fly your desired course line?
CH - compass heading.
Check 'A' - a thorough pre flight inspection the first of the day.
AHRS - Attitude-heading reference system.
AI - Altitude indicator
aileron - A small hinged portion of an airplane's wing, used to make an airplane roll, or turn around its long axis.
Heading Control
In addition to counteracting torque, the tail rotor and its control linkage also permit control of the helicopter heading during flight.
Conversely, aircraft locked on a heading - that is, flying a direction instructed by ATC - will, for all intents and purposes and barring things like engines falling off or being attacked by a giant winged leviathan, ...
Simulated panels take GPS-derived altitude, heading, groundspeed, and vertical speed and use these values to mock up an instrument panel, interpreting the values into displays on standard instruments, such as altimeter, horizontal situation indicator, ...
One feature that caught Cessna's corporate attention is the G1000's Attitude Heading and Reference Systems (AHRS), which uses a system of algorithms to calculate all three axes of flight data.
(a) Multiple gas cells which function like bulk-heading on a steamship, so that if one or more cells fail the ship will still remain aloft: (b) The triple cover system, one cover to hold the lifting gas, ...
QDM Request magnetic heading to steer towards...with no wind
QDR Request magnetic bearing from
QFE Setting on the subscale of the altimeter so that the instrument shows height above the reference elevation being used ...
FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (FDR) — A crash-resistant device that digitally records selected flight information, such as airspeed, altitude, heading, attitude, engine settings, G-loads, and the like.
An FDR will record information about the performance of various aircraft systems, as well as the aircraft's speed, altitude, heading and other flight parameters.
DRIFT - The angle between the heading of an aircraft and its Track, or flight path, over the ground as affected by winds.
DRY WEIGHT - The weight of an engine exclusive of any fuel, oil, and coolant.
final
Used to mean an aircraft is on proper heading, descent rate, airspeed, and altitude during runway approach prior to landing, or to a target prior to weapons release ...
The pilot will usually navigate by using electronic navigation equipment, compass headings assigned by Air Traffic Control, or in some cases compass bearings corrected for forecast winds.
Vector - Compass heading instructions issued by Air Traffic Control in providing navigational guidance by radar.
An automatic control program which keeps an aircraft flying at a steady heading and at a constant height.
Autorotation ...
Y: Full fare unrestricted coach class. Often used as a generic term to differentiate Coach from Business or First in award charts etc. "Y/C/F" headings.
YGM: FlyerTalk lingo meaning "You've got mail"
YGPM: You've Got Private Mail.
One of the less common evolutions which come under the general heading of aerobatics.
AUTOMATIC PILOT (AUTOPILOT) - A gyroscopically stabilized system maintaining an aircraft in level flight at predetermined heading and altitude.
