Hello,

Here you are tootling along on your IFR flight plan - maybe on
vectors - whatever, you're
exactly where you should be, following ATC's instructions to the
letter, and they then say


"35Siera, you have traffic at 10:00 east to west three miles 7000
feet a Boeing 737
CAUTION WAKE TURBULENCE".

So - besides looking for the Boeing, what do you do about the wake
turbulence? Tighten your seatbelt? Review your unusual attitudes
training? Prepare to kiss your *** goodbye?
Ask for a diversion? How do you know whether you need it?

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.
