Wake Turbulence
The Wake Turbulence module addresses the hazard of flying into another aircraft's vortices. Aimed at avoidance techniques, the module highlights the guidance in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular (AC) 90-23G, Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), Information for Operators (InFO) 13006 Operational Demonstration of Wake Turbulence Mitigation for Departures (WTMD), and several FAA Notices on the topic.
We present specific wake turbulence-related incidents in turbine business aircraft flown by professional flight crews. The module also highlights the new Wake Turbulence Aircraft Categories and Separation Standards going into effect across the United States and Europe.
