The Maverick Dilemma

The runway on an aircraft carrier is less than 350 feet long (most fighter aircraft need 2,300 feet to take off and slightly more to stop after landing). In order to stop a jet in so little space, arresting cables (called 'the wire') are stretched out on the deck of the ship to catch a special hook on the plane. These cables pull the jets to a stop extremely quickly to prevent them from falling into the ocean.

You are the pilot of a F/A-18 Hornet jet trying to land on the carrier. The distance to the wire is 5,000 feet and you are still 300 feet above the ship's deck.

Question 1. What is the appropriate angle of elevation from the ship to you that would be necessary for you to catch the wire and land safely on the ship? Round to the nearest 1/100th (two decimal places).

Question 2. What is the horizontal distance between the wire and the point under the plane that lines up horizontally with the ship's deck?

Question 3. What would happen if your angle was too big or too small?
