What is the wingspan of the aircraft?

The wingspan shouldn't matter.

Altimeters make this less likely than you might believe. Perhaps you are the
one that doesn't realize something. As you admit below, you didn't put much
thought into your determination.

To convince me, I need an explanation of why wakes descend universally except
by some magic exception when someone is doing a 360-degree turn.

Perhaps you are not considering all the causes of turbulence that follow
an aircraft (in it's wake)?

Perhaps others are not considering all the causes of turbulence besides
aircraft wakes.

You do a 360 and run into a bump when, and only when, you complete
the 360.

Or you run into bumps but only notice the one that you hit when you complete
the 360.

On a bumpy day you wouldn't be able to tell the wake from the overall
turbulence.

On an otherwise smooth day you can.

It can be done, Tony.

I agree.

On an otherwise smooth day you can.

Probably--if you actually hit it.

Not without descending. The wake _must_ descend. This means that you cannot
catch it unless you descend, also. If you can explain how this rule can be
broken, I'm listening.

Total bull****. You haven't a clue.

Then listen hard. The wake consists of more than just the downwash you
are fixated on. If you have ever seen a sky-writer at work, you would
know, even without setting foot in a real aircraft, that it is possible
to return to the same parcel of air and pass through the smoke you had
left previously.
On a calm day, no descending or climbing is required.
Your problem is your fixation on your assumptions, and then insisting
that physical reality must be wrong when your limited assumptions don't
square with that reality, a true sign of immaturity and a basic
inability to assimilate the information that your own senses provide.
Anthony, I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for you. I believe that
you have real, diagnosable mental issues.

What rule?

All we have is the babblings of a Microsoft game player.

We have. Rising air. It happens all the time over the plowed cornfields I
fly over. The plane doesn't also rise with the air because we are
maintaining out altitude above the ground.
