I'm still a student pilot so can't add any value to the IFR discussions,
but
I am curious about the concerns around wake turbulence from a departing
aircraft on the runway you are about to land on. I thought wake
turbulence
could only happen when significant lift, ie enough lift to get the plane
in
the air, is being generated. Therefore, as a landing aircraft, you
wouldn't
experience wake turbulence from a departing aircraft until you roll down
the
runway past the point of the other plane's rotation. By then you're
solidly
on the ground. Right? So does a landing aircraft really have to worry
about wake turbulence from a departing aircraft?

And that reason was why he was in too much of a hurry to get on the ground,
by chopping the power and forcing it down.
