True Heading
A straight line drawn between any two points is a rhumb line on what type of chart?
Transverse Mercator Projection
Flying a predetermined heading, using the ground track and aircraft speed, considering magnetic, wind and other influences
Dead Reckoning
Semi-great circles running through the geographic poles of the earth
Meridians of Longitude
If you fly a constant heading, you’d cut all meridians at the same angle and fly in a curved line
