The launch azimuth is the angle between north direction and the projection of the initial orbit plane onto the launch location.
Relation between latitude and inclination
Not all inclinations can be reached at a position on a celestial body. The problem is, that the launch location has to be a point inside the target orbit plane. So, if the latitude of a launch location is higher than the inclination, the orbit can't be reached directly.
