11 LP wake turbulence Flashcards
Phenomenon on resulting from the passage of an aircraft through the atmosphere
Wake turbulence
Circular patterns of aircraft by the movement of an airfoil through air when generating left
Vortices
What is a byproduct of wing lift
Vortices
What are the three factors of strength of the vortex
Wait, shape of the wing, speed
When is the greatest vortex strength generated
When the aircraft is heavy, clean, slow
What is the greatest factor that affects the intensity of wake turbulence
The weight of the aircraft
A swirling Hermas off the wingtip trailing behind the aircraft
Wake vortex, wingtip vortices
Vertices are generated when
At the moment the aircraft generates lift, normally when the nose wheels leave the ground.
Cortices discontinue at the moment the aircraft
Starts generating lift, normally when all landing gear his touchdown
Vortices from large aircraft normally level off ______ to ______ below the flight path
500 to 1000 feet
Vortex movement at the ground with no wind will travel how fast
2 to 3 kn laterally
When observing an aircraft from behind, the circulation of vortices off the right wing tip is ______and ______ off the left went to
Counterclockwise, clockwise
Vortices from large aircraft will sink approximately _____ feet to _____ft./m and level off approximately _____feet below the flight path
300 feet to 500 feet,
500 to 1000’
For landing aircraft, crosswinds of 1 to 5 knots tend to ______the lateral movement of one vortex while ______ the movement of the other
Stall
Increase
The mechanical force a wake vortex has on an aircraft
Induced roll
