Can you set an autopilot to do a 60 degree bank angle turn? Mine
won't do that.


It depends on the autopilot. On large aircraft you can, although they usually
won't go to 60 degrees.

so didyou when you did your "test flight?" You won't encounter a bump
from wake turbulence unless you are doing a steep turn ( like 45
degree bank angle which should take 19 seconds to go 360)

In the sim? No, there was no bump.

Why would the steepness of a turn matter?

A 2-G turn is rather close to the load limits for many types of aircraft.

What a dumb ****! Are you kidding???

If someone rolled your brain up in to a ball, and rolled it down a razor
blade -
it would look like a B-B rolling down a four lane highway.

Well you should have been. Do a little research.

The steepness matters for two reasons
1. the time of the turn matters to whether the wake turbulance is
dissipating
2. the bank angle changes the rate of descent of the wake
So if you are doing a standard rate turn that takes two minutes, you
will not hit youur wake. But if you do a 2g turn (around 45 degrees)
it should take 19 seconds and you will hit your wake.
3. a 2 g turn should not be close to the load limits of any airplane
certificated in the standard (let alone the utility) category. My
airplane ( a P337) is certificated as standard, not utility. the load
limits ar +3.8 flaps up. And is approved for turns up to 60 degrees.

A 60 degree bank produces 2 G's. A 45 degree bank produces 1.414 G's.
