0-360 degrees

bearing is where you wish to fly /direct to the destination/
heading is where your aircraft nose points

course is the angular value reffering to the line between two waypoints.it is also the direction you are flying with effect of the wind drift.

twr " report heading"
you read the value at the compass or gyrocompass and report "heading 330"
twr "fly heading 320"
this angular correction of ten degrees in heading will enable you to follow the desired course without actual knowledge of wind drift values. the controller sees your path on the radar and he knows you should do a correction of ten degrees, but he cannot vector you until you report your heading.

other example ..your recent bearing to LKKV is 230 degrees. the course is 230 degrrees right now. when you fly heading 230 and the wind is calm zou will eventually get to the LKKV. when the wind is blowing, it wiill change your track - you have to counter the wind drift and set heading appropriate to the wind drift, to maintian the course.lets say the wind drift would be 10 degrees to the north .. you have to set the heading 220 to fly the course 230. OK,now?

Course Heading

Heading is the direction that the craft is moving. Bearing is the direction to the station. Now, in NDB naviation, you have Magnetic Bearing, Relative Bearing and Magnetic Heading. If any pilot knows, this is the basis for the whole IFR written.. RB+MH= MB. This is a way to figure out the exact heading needed to fly to track a NDB based on the indication of the ADF instrument and the heading of the aircraft, to fly a course on a certain radial (bearing) from a NDB station.

A course has length and direction(s). It can be straight, arcing, or take any path. A planned route segment is a course.

A bearing is a direction.

Heading is the direction that the head of the ship or the nose of the aircraft is heading or pointing.

The min and max in the avionics are 0º and 360º. On displays 360º is usually shown as 0º.

Course-Your path along the surface.
Bearing-The direction you intend to take.
Heading-The direction you are travelling.

0-359 degrees

The previous answer is correct, but to simply:

Heading - Where you're POINTING
Bearing - Any direction
Course - The VECTOR you take to get to your destination.
