When flying an airplane in crosswind what heading are you flying?

Asked by wfcentral (4points) September 25th, 2009

If you are flying an airplane in a crosswind and you’re crabbing to the left. Does the heading on your instruments show the direction the plane is moving across the ground OR the direction the nose is pointed (which will obviously be different due to the wind)?
