2) Direction of flight
3) Type
4) Altitude
5) Estimated time
6) Other (intentions)

42
Q

When do you issue a wake turbulence cautionary

A

Whenever you expect an arriving or departing aircraft’s flight path to intersect, within 3 minutes, (4min for A380) the flight path of a heavier category aircraft.
Also if a light medium behind a heavy medium. eg. a B190 behind a B732. Both the 1900 and the 737 are medium, but the B190 is light medium, B732 is heavy medium, so wake turbulence cautionary still necessary.
