I feel the turbulence when another tractor-trailer passes me on the highway, I can’t even imagine how much turbulence an airplane generates. Very informative indeed. Thanks 😊

I'm a U.S. air traffic controller and was expecting typical clickbait cringe but this was actually well researched and an accurate description of wake turbulence and its effects on airport capacity. Other reasons for delays between departures though can include weather (if aircraft need to deviate a lot around nearby storms, we usually ask for extra departure spacing), and if two aircraft are going on the same route, we usually want at least a minute separation even if wake turbulence rules don't apply. Then of course you can have intersecting runways where another aircraft is about to land, so the departure needs to be held until that aircraft has vacated their runway. But good video overall.

I appreciate your comment. However, I would want to question the "MUST" bit in the headline. I have been on a number of flights where the plane would taxi to the runway and then just blast off without such wait. Guess that is when the previous plane has already departed 2 minutes earlier...

@kewkabe

@@sp111973 Right, "MUST" is incorrect. Wake turbulence is only applied if the preceding aircraft is in a larger category. Most domestic passenger aircraft are in the same (large) category, so you'll really only deal with wake turbulence at major international airports where those flights tend to be in the heavy category.

@@divecolosio4988 A few. With two available runways, one is generally used for takeoffs and the other for landings, although if one is longer and an aircraft needs that additional length, that has to be worked around. If there are more than two, weight categories can be an efficient way to utilise them, although if local airspace is restrictive, it can be by arrival and departure route instead. Of course, "light" covers a wide range - even a Cessna 152 is "light" and so is Learjet. There is no way on earth I am not giving that Lear (or any other business jet) a healthy clearance on departure in a little Piper, Cessna or similar. His high-speed optimised high wing-loading aircraft is going to produce a lot more wake turbulence than I want to experience, even in a 150 Aerobat (rated for +6 -3g, and yes, I've been to both ends of that limit - voluntarily).

Heard turboprops generate more wake turbulance too although they're typically physically smaller than jets. That was why Singapore upgraded it's _Seletar_ Airport from a general aviation to a commercial one & moved all turboprop flights to there (from Changi Airport, so more takeoff/landing slots could be fitted there)

I'm a retired commercial airline pilot. This is a very good and accurate explanation. Well done.

The 757 is not even a wide body but puts out some of the strongest wake turbulence for some reason. One clear, calm night we were departing 08R in ATL in a 717 behind 2 757's and after the required wait we climbed out. At probably 800 ft agl the 717 rolled hard to the left, we received a 'Windshear' alert from Barking Betty and it took full right aileron to recover. One second later it rolled hard to the right, we received another 'Windshear' alert from Barking Betty and it took full left aileron to recover. Whole episode only took a few seconds and it was over. Also, with 'reduced separation' of only 1,000 ft vertically ATC will often advise narrow body aircraft when they are approaching (Head on, crossing, etc) an Airbus A-380 super jumbo aircraft which has powerful wake turbulence. Many/most captains of the narrow body aircraft will ask for vectors off course to pass well away from the wake of the A380.

I trained at a small airfield (Andrewsfield) in Essex where there was a major aiport within reasonable flying distance (Stansted). I don't know whether it was just because of that proximity, but my instructor was EXTREMELY keen to impress on me just how dangerous jets can be. Mostly because they can be well gone before you encounter their descending wake vortices. Worth paying attention the vidoe's claim that a 757 is a Medium, but is actually a Heavy for wake. In fact, if you're flying a C152 like I was back in '99, it's probably just best to be cautious of everything. Including birds.

This is interesting. Thanks for providing it. I and everybody easily knew why back in the 1950s/‘60s’ when the cockpit command crew paused at the foot of the runway’s taxiway for awhile before making the turn to take off. That was to individually rev each engine on the plane to high power to check the gauges for performance. Then, make the turn and let’s go! For me, this was mostly American DC-6s and 7s at Dallas Love Field. And once on an Eastern Lockheed Super G Constellation at the old Amon Carter Field in Fort Worth. THAT was neat for a kid. It was a night flight. I could see blue exhaust flames coming out of the engine, alerted the stewardess, and got to sit on the first officer’s lap while he explained how it all worked. He joked that his job, as first officer, was simple. He pointed out that there was a green light at the tip of one wing, and a red light at the tip of the other. His job was to make sure the captain kept flying between those two lights. I was only in second grade, but knew it was BS. 😝

When I lived in DC We used to go down to the park right under the approach of WDCA Regan. After a good size airliner passed overhead you could actually hear the wingtip vortices passing by overhead and sometimes see them moving across the field just like a mini tornado and see them transition sometimes from horizontal to vertical. These were strong enough to easily flip over a smaller plane and if you stay inside one long enough flip another airliner. These are powerful suckers and can intensify long after leaving the wingtips.

an addon to this: i sometimes fly out of an airport where the smallest aircraft are ultralights and the largest are 737s. the tower almost always makes the small aircraft takeoff before the jets due to wake turbulence...it always seems funny taking priority in a cessna over a southwest jet

That is very ironic!

If the light is VFR then this is great, if it’s IFR and you don’t have a way to get a good separation then the medium goes first and the light can wait.

When we fly the cessnas out of Boston, I wondered why they let us go…nice to know after watching this video.

My first flight lessons were out of Hancock International Airport, Syracuse NY. Back then, the NYANG Wing next door to our FBO at the airport flew F-16s, so my plane (usually a Piper Warrior II) was sometimes either queued-up behind or in front of a fighter jet on the taxiway. It makes for interesting takeoffs when you've JUST started your takeoff roll and the tower tells the fighter to "position and hold" right behind you (now I guess they say "line up and wait"). You have this overwhelming urge to make a clearing turn of your own as soon as you get off the ground because you know that fighter is burning jet fuel waiting for you to get out of the way.

Just remember it is a public use airport paid by public taxes. Small aircraft have just as much right to use that airport. Southwest is just a company trying to make money the same as Joe Blo’s flying school. Because Greyhound busses carry more people than your car, does that mean they get priority over you on the interstate highways that are paid for with your taxes? I have been waiting behind airliners for takeoff in my Cessna, as well as put in front of them. It all depends on how the controller sees fit as the best way to expedite traffic flow.

Thank you for sharing ❤️ 😊

this was a really interesting video. That was super cool to watch the vortex tests.

Many years ago I worked near an airport and some days I would eat my lunch very near the runway and watch the planes. One day a 777 came in to land and about 30 seconds later there was a really weird build up of wind and very strange sounds it crossed over the top of us you could literally put your hand out and feel it and see it too kicking up leaves and dust it was crazy. Its the only time I ever felt or saw such a thing but it made me very wary of wake turbulence since that day. The whole incident lasted about 30 seconds and I visited the same spot lots of other times and never saw or felt anything again. I guess that day the winds and the conditions were just right.

Great illustrative photography supporting very interesting information.

Wow, now I totally understand and agree with the wait!

To add to this, helicopters operating off small ships (Frigates, Destroyers, etc.) must take into account the turbulence created by the ships superstructure. I watched our helo loose Tail Rotor Authority due to winds exceeding 45kts over the bow of the ship. Fortunately, as the helo's tail was spinning around the main rotor, the helo managed to lift off the deck and away from the winds and regain control.

Hi John, Do you know the cause or can you speculate the cause the loss of the Helo off the deck of the USS Abe Lincoln off San Diego a few weeks ago?

@@penelopelgoss2520 From the scant details given by the local news I only know the the helo was trying to land, there was some unusual side swaying (?), the rotors blades struck the deck (which caused the injuries on the flight deck), then the helo went over the side (90' drop). I suspect some sort of mechanical or equipment failure with the flight controls. But without seeing film I can only guess. The investigation could take months. And I'm 25+ years past having accesses to Safety Magazines and reports that would cover things like this.

RDC, USCG, Retired, 7 yrs at sea! 2 WHEC’s on west coast & 1 WMEC east coast! Never had any wind issues, a couple fog issues thru the years! Crazy pilots flying off/on such small flight decks, Lol 😂! Training for those hospitals with helo pads on the 25th floor, right? Had 1 “safety officer” pilot, ex Army an Viet Nam pilot onboard 1 patrol. Never wanted us telling when returning to the ship. Always came back high an out of the sun! Good morale booster for those on deck! Great Memories!

We've got a casino here in Reno, Nv that's about a mile from the end of the runway. If you stand beneath their trees and wait for a large jet to pass overhead, you often notice that the jet is on the runway and hear the wake turbulence blow in the trees above you.

Excellent, thanks.

Some lovely video of vortices thanks..
