In this episode you will learn: - The number at the top of the heading indicator under the lubber line represents the aircraft's current heading. - How to quickly identify cardinal (N, S, E, W) and intermediate (NE, SE, SW, NW) directions on the indicator. - To match the heading indicator's value to the correct aircraft silhouette, where North is up, South is down, East is right, and West is left. - Common exam traps include focusing on numbers not at the top of the dial and misinterpreting reciprocal headings. - The mnemonic "Top number tells the nose where it goes" is a simple way to remember the core concept during the timed exam.
