A heading indicator is a magnetic compass powered by vacuum pressure. Also know as a gyro. It is used in avaiation. To read it, simply look at the direction that the arrow is pointed too. For example, the arrow could point at 33. This means the aircraft is at a heading of 330 degrees. If it points at 3, it means it's at a heading of 30. But if it's into the tenths, you do not add a zero.
