I'm with Terry, what you want to hear at the field is the sub-satellite distance. 'Cause all anyone really cares about for distance is how long the walk/drive is going to be. I, at least, can't mentally translate from distance to anticipated spot size in my head, so knowing azimuth and elevation angles is as good as it's going to get for trying to spot the airframe descending, I think.
