Title:
Caution Wake Turbulence Helicopter Departing
Topic:
Safety Around Helicopters Both on the Ground and in Flight
Brief Description:
When pilots think about wake turbulence, images of heavy jet airliners leaving long, swirling vortices in their wake usually come to mind. But there is another invisible danger operating on the airfield, one that can be just as sudden, violent, and unforgiving: Helicopter Downwash.
Whether you are taxiing, conducting touch-and-goes, or flying in shared airspace around tower-controlled or non-towered airports, understanding how helicopters interact with the air is critical to your safety.
Join us where we'll discuss how helicopter rotor wash and vortices behave during hover, taxi, takeoff, and landing, and uncover best practices for maneuvering around rotorcraft, communicating effectively, and asking Air Traffic Control for necessary avoidance time or space.
