Using the 1500 Amp TOSCA map provided by Paul Brindza, I ran Garfield calculations over a grid in z and r corresponding to the dimensions of the FDC to compute the deflections of the avalanches along the wire due to the Lorentz force. The behavior of this deflection for ionizations throughout a given FDC cell is well-described by a plane:
