Discuss how you might radio a pilot and tell him or her how to adjust the slope of their flight path in order to clear the mountain.
If the pilot doesn’t change something, he / she will not make it home for Christmas. Would you agree?
Consider the options:
1) Keep the same slope of his / her path.
Not a good choice!
2) Go straight up.
Not possible! This is an airplane, not a helicopter.
