Abstract
An approximate analytical expression for wave normal angle θg≠0, at which whistler-mode group velocity is directed along magnetic field line in a hot anisotropic plasma, is derived. This expression is simple enough for practical applications in the magnetospheric conditions and is compatible with the results of numerical analysis for wave frequencies below but not close to the half of electron gyrofrequency.
