travel. Track angle is computed using the magnetic
variation at the Present Position.
Track Angle Error (TAE):
The difference between
the Desired Track and the Track Angle (Dtk - Trk =
Tae). A letter is shown next to the Track Angle Error
value showing the direction of error in reference to
the current Track.
True North:

Tower
(TWR):
