An airplane flying at an altitude of 7,000 feet is 5 miles from the runway where the pilot plans to land. To the nearest degree, what angle of depression should the plane

assume? (Use 5,280 feet = 1 mile)

If the plane was flaying parallel to the ground at 7000 feet, 5 miles out, would the angle be -14.8497   (-15 degrees)?
