Answer:

13.98 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the airplane be at point A, the airport at point B and the point of overshoot, point C.

If the plane is on path AC and the pilot wants to adjust to the path AB, the angle by which the pilot will adjust the airplane heading is the angle between AB and AC which is A.

Using Cosine Rule

Cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc} \\Cos A=\dfrac{65^2+60^2-16^2}{2(65)(60)} \\Cos A=0.9704\\A=arcCos (0.9704)\\\angle A=13.98^\circ

The pilot should adjust the plane's heading by 13.98 degrees.
