Determine the direction of a plane's course

Check out this tutorial and learn how to determine the direction of a plane's course. It's simple. First draw the course on a chart. Then, place the parallel ruler along the line and walk the ruler to the nearest compass rose. With the edge going through the center of the compass rose, the course direction may be read in degrees true north or degrees magnetic. The difference between the two is called magnetic variation.
