Yaw angle
Yaw angle is the angle between a vehicle's heading and its actual direction of travel or course. More specifically, in flight dynamics the yaw angle of an airplane relates the displacement of the airplane's centerline from some reference azimuth (normally true or magnetic North) and is assigned the shorthand notation psi (psi).
