Part 7: Wake Turbulence

7.07 To avoid wake turbulence when taking off behind a large aircraft, the pilot should

(1) remain in ground effect until past the rotation point of the large aircraft.
(2) become airborne in the calm airspace between the vortices.
(3) taxi until past the rotation point of the large aircraft, then take off and remain below its climb path.
(4) become airborne before the rotation point of the large aircraft and stay above its departure path or request a turn to avoid the departure path.
