Question to Mxmanic

In the course of my research, it appears to be impossible. The sources
I consulted seemed more reliable than a name on a screen.

If you write the names on the screen down on a piece of paper, the two
sources will become equally anonymous, then.

My research indicates that this is not possible. The wake sinks at a rate
between 150 and 500 feet per minute (roughly). Thus, it would always be well
below the airplane by the time it closes its own circle, unless the airplane
is also descending.

I've seen reports of pilots descending in a 360-degree turn and running into
their own wakes. If they can descend and encounter their own wake, then they
cannot remain at the same altitude and encounter it. It cannot be in two
places at once.


You´re an idiot.

If the local air mass is rising, it will slow the sink or even raise the
vortex.

And it will raise the aircraft, too, so the result is the same.

Not if you are maintaining altitude via altimeter.

Except in a real airplane with a real pilot, the pilot is maintaining
altitude +/- 100 feet.

Mxsmanic,

My research indicates that this is not possible.


Hoho! Well then, I guess us pilots who routinely encounter this, e.g.
during something as mundane as a rental checkout, must all be
delusional.
