Wake Turbulence Flashcards
The larger the angle of attack, more lift, _____ wake turbulence
More
The main danger of wake turbulence is
induced roll
The vortices will tend to
Lose height slowly and drift downwind
In calm wind, the vortices
will “hang”
When taking off behind a large jet, the best practice is
Climbing steeply, delay takeoff, airborne before the jet lifted off, manouvere after takeoff
In the circuit,
Avoid flying below and behing large aircraft. Can also fly on the windward side of them
On approach after aircraft has landed
Fly above the jet approach path and land beyond its touchdown point.
On approach after aircraft tookoff
Touchdown short of the aircraft lift-off point
If an aircraft made a landing and then go-around,
it’s unsafe, consider changing flight path
The effect of wake turbulence will be the greatest at
Low speeds, high AoA, zero flap, light wind conditions
