QUESTIONS TO THINK ABOUT:
How are you going to make it there?
But the good question is…..
Do you really know where you are going?
Where is the North?
What North is that one?

DIRECTIONAL DATUMS & MEASUREMENTS
COMPASS DIRECTION: Any direction in reference to the Compass North (Compas North Pole = CN)
Due to the fact of the compass being imperfect and to the possible electromagnetic fields induced on the needle, the compass will not indicate the real magnetic north > COMPASS NORTH

DIRECTIONAL DATUMS & MEASUREMENTS
GRID DIRECTION: Any direction in reference to the Grid North (GN).
The Grid North is associated with the Grid Reference Meridian (Grid Datum Meridian).
GRID: Parallel lines, printed on a chart, that are parallel to the Grid Reference Meridian.(Widely used on Polar Stereographic charts

RELATIVE DIRECTION: Any direction, measured angularly, in reference to the aircraft’s
longitudinal axis

Course means intended track. But , when crourse is used, track is only used to refer the
path already flown
If not specifying a particular type of line: DIRECTION (TD, MD, GD)
