Operational Proceduresmedium#1025
Wake turbulence is most hazardous when the generating aircraft is:
A
Heavy, fast, and in clean configuration
B
Heavy, slow, and in clean configuration
CorrectC
Light, slow, and with full flaps
D
Heavy, fast, and with gear down
Explanation
Wake vortices are strongest when the generating aircraft is heavy, slow, and clean, as this maximizes the lift coefficient and vortex intensity.
