A
Light quartering tailwind.
🚨 Wake Turbulence: Light QT
2
Q
Wake turbulence is near maximum behind a jet transport just after take off because
A
of the high angle of attack and high gross weight.
Turbulence 4m Jet: Hi AOA & GW
3
Q
What effect would a light crosswind of approximately 7 knots have on vortex behavior?
A
The upwind vortex would tend to remain over the runway
Vortex: Upwind Vortex Remain Over RWY
4
