Different magnetic deviation and magnetic variation?

In relation to aviation... Deviation is the difference between a true heading and the compass heading. The compass heading is different from true due to magnetic fields induced by the components of the aircraft. Variation is the difference (angle) between True North and Magnetic North. Variation changes depending on your position and is normally indicated on maps as a dashed line with the variation in degrees along that particular line.

An airlift plane can fly at airspeed of 300 mph If there is a wind blowing towards the east at 50 mph what should be the planes compass heading in order for its course to be 30 degrees?

The wind correction angle for a true course of 30 degrees, with an airspeed of 300, with a wind direction of 90, and with a wind speed of 50, is -8.3 degrees. The indicated course must then be 21.7 degrees. CCORRECTION = sin-1 (VWIND sin (CWIND - CACTUAL) / VINDICATED)
