The callsign is what the aircraft transmits by radio. It usually matches the commercial flight number, but not always: sometimes it is the registration.

An asterisk marks a heading derived from the runway number rather than measured. The number is a magnetic heading and the measured one is true: the derived value carries the local magnetic declination, up to 20 degrees.
