If taking off or landing behind a large aircraft, a safe way to avoid wake turbulence is: - answer ✅✅Asking the controller to allow at least three minutes prior to departing or landing behind a large airplane. Wake turbulence strength is determined by: - answer ✅✅Wing shape, speed, and weight of the airplane. Wake turbulence vortices tend to: - answer ✅✅Descend about 400- 500 feet per minute, and level off about 900 feet below the flight path of the generating airplane. When does wake turbulence become and remain a hazard? - answer ✅✅When an airplane rotates for takeoff, and remains a hazard until the airplane lands. When is wake turbulence the strongest? - answer ✅✅Behind large, slow airplanes during take off or landing.
While flying under visual conditions, to avoid wake turbulence in flight, you should: - answer ✅✅Avoid flying behind and below a large aircraft, and if possible, adjust position laterally, towards the upwind You are following behind a large airplane to land on the same runway. You should: - answer ✅✅Stay above the large airplane's flight path, and touch down beyond where the large aircraft landed. You are landing on a crossing runway behind a large departing airplane. You should be aware that: - answer ✅✅If the large aircraft rotates before the runway intersection, vortices will have been generated and flight under the large airplane's path should be avoided. You are landing on a runway where another large airplane is departing. You should: - answer ✅✅Watch where it rotates, and land before that point.
