Default Caution Wake Turbulence

The wise course of action is to reply "request 5 miles wake turbulence
separation."

Accept the fact they may have to vector you back around to provide
better wake turbulence.

They were trying to pass the buck to you because of the horrible crash
at KSNA several years ago that killed the burger king.

Don't accept it.


The example was clearly an enroute situation and he got the caution
because he was 1000 feet below the 737. Any more than 1000 feet of
separation and the caution would not have been given. You introduced
separation down final. Four miles is required in this situation. You
can request five if you'd like but ATC may or may not give it to you.
There was no buck passing involved.
