relative headings Here used to indicate a simulator control which displays relative headings on the rim of the radar screen as opposed to true headings. In relative headings, the top of the radar screen is always at 000. Target bearings are then measured with the EBL in relative units, starboard = 090, aft = 180, and port = 270.
