which method do they use?
Crabbing, Sideslip? l was in fsx and l have a weather thing and produces wake turbulence. l know what wake turbulence is but how to you get out of it? It can be annoying espeically while on final.
Any Stories about your experiances of wake turbulence would be nice.
Thanks

Mostly by staying out of it. Controlled airports provide adequate separation, and uncontrolled airports seldom fly anything big enough to matter. In thirty years of flying, l never encountered it. The primary effect of wake turbulence would be to provide a rolling moment, which would be controlled with ailerons.

My only wake turbulence experience is when l flew my tiny Kitfox ultralight right under a business jet that must have been maybe 500 ft above me & right under a glider that was also in the traffic circuit. After reporting to the nearby Tower, l was told that the jet plane was an airspace infringement, the pilot was not on the frequency & it had been reported to our national Norwegian authorities. What happened is that l experienced an extremely strong turbulence that can only be compared to montain downdraft in strong wind. There is no crabbing or sideslip to do there; just reduce speed to Va if there is time enough & . stand the ride. It is always very short. Incidentally, sideslip is what l always do in order to adjust speed and/or altitude on final. Flaps r for sissies! :-)

Above answer is the correct answer, #1 Avoid,avoid,avoid. If you get in it, hold on, any maneuver is going to possibly put more stress on the airframe and if you got into it in the first place, you do not know where it is coming from so how do know where to go to get out of it.

As said, avoid it. When landing behind a heavy, make your touchdown point past the touchdown point of the heavy. When taking off, make your rotation point before the rotation point of the heavy. When wings are not making lift, there is no turbulence.

l agree with everyone who said that you deal with wake turbulence by avoiding it. If you do encounter wake turbulence, you ride it out and avoid any tendency to overcontrol. Just relax and deal with the upset after the turbulence passes.
The only time l ever encountered wake turbulence was while practicing steep turns. l managed to get to the point where l could reliably intercept my own wake. It surprised the heck out of me the first time it happened.

By anticipating it & not flying into it. By knowing spin & stall recovery by instinct. By learning to pray if u r less than 500' when u hit it. Its alot more than annoying if u r on final.
l have no stories about personal experience because l have always made a point of staying out of it. Most who encounter it on takeoff & approach r not presently able to recount their experience for you. You want stories then read the investigators reports.

Just keep flying the plane.

Sufficient clearance will prevent you from being caught unawares. Turbulence can be very dangerous and is best left avoided. If you hit turbulence, hold tight on the controls, maintain power and keep the aircraft under control.
