They move at a few knots, which still amounts to some 500 fpm. No, they don't, and no it doesn't. You have nothing to back up what you say. I have never heard of any study of the wake properties of GA aircraft and the wake of a C172 is very different than the wake of a 747 ... Since you haven't heard of any study of the wake properties of GA aircraft, you cannot possibly know whether the wake of a C172 is "very different" from that of a 747 or not. Oops! If I fly through the wake of a 747 I risk things like suddenly finding myself inverted or structural failure. If I fly through the wake of a C172 I feel a slight bump. Oops! In fact, the general principle is the same for all aircraft wakes. They always move downward gently. You cannot catch them in a turn unless you move downward, too. If you are in rising air, the wake might remain stationary relative to the ground, but then your aircraft would be rising, so you'd still have to descend relative to the surrounding air in order to catch your wake. And smoothly rising air isn't that common, although it's not that rare. Is this knowledge based upon your many years of playing the Flight Simulator game? Just because playing a Microsoft game gives you no basis for understanding something that many thousands of people have experienced does not mean that it doesn't exist. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Mxsmanic,
Flight Simulator allows me to put theory into practice, mainly. Another priceless gem! What practice??? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
