I would say that it depends very much upon what you intend to do with the
information.  If all you need to know is whether the line is a tie-line
versus a primary survey line, all you need to do is look at the end points
and determine whether the largest change is in the X or Y direction and
identify the line accordingly.  If you need to know an angle for some
reason, you might have to calculate an average heading.  For most
applications the end points would probably do the job.

Hi Everyone,

Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough or thinking the problem through
properly, but does anyone know of an easy way to get the
orientaiont(heading) of a flight line?
