Not sure if this is really true, cause I have not yet figured out by longhand the ascent angle at 45/45 degrees, but it looks close if not right. The heading (as stated before) is:
-ATAN2(theta,phi)
The ascent angle magnitude is (where theta and phi are supplied in radians):
1.57 - ACOS(COS(theta)*(SIN(ABS(phi)))) + ABS(theta)
This might be able to be cleaned up considerably.
