Question

You have been training as an air traffic control intern at the Getaway International Airport. Today is a
particularly busy day and your recently acquired skills are needed to help ease the congestion of takeoffs
and landings. Each full­time controller is assigned flights based on experience. Since you are new, the
flights assigned to you are determined using the following chart:

Answer 1

For your first takeoff, look in column A and find the letter your first name begins with to find
your first flight number. In column C, you will see the angle of elevation needed for takeoff that
must be communicated with the pilot. To keep in constant communication for the duration of
the flight, the air traffic controllers pass the repsonsibility of monitoring the flight and guiding
it from tower to tower until it reaches it's final destination. For the activity, this will be known
as a tower change. In the drawing below, the moment at which the aircraft’s wheels lift off the
runway is marked as W. The Tower is located at T and C is the point at which a tower change is
made. The length from W to T is 15000 feet. What will be the altitude of your flight at the
moment the tower change is made? You must provide your flight number to your instructor
along with all steps and calculations for your solution to receive full credit.

Answer 2

flight #: 2010
angle of elevation: 27
