Turnip Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well, lets see.... in real life being under that airliner with its wake turbulence dropping at 500 Ft/Min, he should be knocked out of the sky in about 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoLimaMike Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Staying on or above leader's glide path Incident data shows that the greatest potential for a wake vortex incident occurs when a light aircraft is turning from base to final behind a heavy aircraft flying a straight-in approach. Light aircraft pilots must use extreme caution and intercept their final approach path above or well behind the heavier aircraft's path. When a visual approach following a preceding aircraft is issued and accepted, the pilot is required to establish a safe landing interval behind the aircraft s/he was instructed to follow. The pilot is responsible for wake turbulence separation. Pilots must not decrease the separation that existed when the visual approach was issued unless they can remain on or above the flight path of the preceding aircraft. Right about that one.
