Abstract:
- The report analyses wake vortex incidents reported to the Civil Aviation Authority between 1982 and 1990, focussing on Heathrow approaches. The analysis covers incident rates related to month of the year, traffic levels, aircraft separations, periods of the day and wind conditions; the occurrence rates for various leader and follower aircraft types are given and the need for a review of separation standards is identified.
