E arctan(49/48) S = E 45°35' S = 135°45'
Actually, that is the pilot's heading.
It also happens to be the bearing of the airport from the plane.

Since the given:
-48 miles west (plane)
-49 miles north of an airport
Let h be the bearing.
tan h= (opposite/adjacent)
tan h= (49/48)
h= tan-1 (49/48)
h= 45° 35’ 26.37”
