As part of a training exercise, the pilot of aircraft A adjusts her airspeed (speed relative to the wind) to 220 km/h while in the level portion of the ap- proach path and thereafter holds her absolute speed constant as she negotiates the 10° glide path. The absolute speed of the aircraft carrier is 30 km/h and that of the wind is 48 km/h. What will be the angle ß of the glide path with respect to the horizontal as seen by an observer on the ship?
