EAS muon production and propagation through the atmosphere were simulated. For each muon at the observation level its incidence angles and the arrival time were determined. It is shown that for large distances from EAS cores and for GeV-muons, time and track measurements could be complementary to improve the accuracy of the muon production height determination.
