Question 1105292: A pilot needs a approach the runway at a constant angle of 3°. a pilot landing at Edmonton International Airport beings the final approach 30 380 ft from the end of the runway. At what altitude should the plane be when beginning the final approach? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):

=========================================================
30380 ft
The altitude is found by tangent 3 degrees=altitude/adjacent
tan 3=a/30380
a=30380*tan 3=1592.15 feet above the runway.
