You know the initial velocity of thee plane (100 m/s) its final velocity (0 m/s), and its acceleration (-5 m/s^2), and you want to find the distance it takes to go from that initial velocity to the final velocity. I bet if you look in your text you'll find a formula that ties together V_initial, V_final, a and d. Use that formula to solve for d. Let us know what you get for an answer.
