To address the arrival of the 757 to the Fed-Ex route into Grand Forks, ND, this AeroCast Safety Bulletin is designed to refresh the pilot's knowledge of the principles of wake turbulence and effective wake turbulence avoidance. UND CFI Anthony Bottini lays out the necessary steps for avoiding a wake turbulence encounter and for recovering from an inadvertent one. Thanks to Udo Müller for sharing some great flying photos from Berlin, Germany and the retired Tempelhof airport.

Even the the 757 is considerably older now, it's still a beast. It's got these fighter jet like wings that are shorter than most planes its size allowing for greater mobility. But the best part about the 757-200 ( the one with PW engines) the engines! When a 757 takes off, it launches into the air like a bat out of hell! Love it! I've been on a few in the past that seemed as though it maintained well over 20 degree pitch angle for quite some time, doing all sorts of sharp bank angle turns.

The The 757 has been responsible for several crashes in the past, including 1 major crash that resulted in a large commercial plane taking off after the 757 crashing and killing on board. due to wake turbulence it generates. Particular the 757-200. According to investigations the 757 engines and wing design generate turbulence so violent that even the might 747 has problems dealing with the turbulence, and as a result the FAA has mandated that planes taking off after 757 space out more time.
