Instructions

Aviation compasses are used by pilots to determine the direction they are flying. These compasses show headings in degrees, which are based on a circle divided into 360 degrees. Pilots must understand how to read and interpret these compasses for safe navigation. Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability.

1. What is the difference between a "heading" and a "bearing" in aviation?

2. If a pilot is flying on a heading of 90 degrees, what is the approximate cardinal direction?

3. If a pilot is flying on a heading of 270 degrees, what is the approximate cardinal direction?

4. If a pilot is flying on a heading of 180 degrees, what is the approximate cardinal direction?

5. If a pilot is flying northwest, what is the approximate heading in degrees?

6. (Extra Credit) If a pilot is flying at a bearing of 45 degrees, what is the approximate cardinal direction?
