Well, just for fun I'll split a hair. According to the listed sources, "Track" is defined as the "...intended or desired horizontal direction of travel..." The term "course over ground" refers to the "..actual path of a vessel with respect to the earth..." American Practical Navigation, Bowditch, 1977 Dutton's Navigation & Piloting, Maloney, 1978 Clearly my sources are founded in nautical navigation, and so where did you locate the aviation definition? USAF Basic Navigation School, Waco, Texas, 1960. They told us that course was the intended path that we wished to follow and that track was our path over the ground. JJ Sinclair |
