I've noticed a few times that I've had what seemed like a gust of wind push the plane down when I'm about 200 AGL. Sometimes less maybe, but I know it's very close to the TDZ. Tonight after flying a hop, I was landing at Birmingham, Alabama. I wanted some storm activity from Dennis. ;) Well all was fine until about 200 - 300 feet AGL then BAM! It was like someone pushed my plane into the ground and there wasn't time to recover. :( I had been watching for traffic in the low vis conditions, and none were around. I immediately Alt-Tabbed to see what ASV said, and it stated it had just sent a Wake Turbulence Event??Now, I don't mind an occasional gust, shear, or whatever in bad conditions, but this shouldn't happen should it? Are these kinds of non-recoverable events supposed to occur in the ASV engine?Thanks

Okay, I was told at the Aeroworx forum that it was the Wake Turbulence, and that people had problems with it, even when aircraft were behind them on final. I don't recall this in 2004.5, but I only had it since February and maybe it was never severe enough to cause a problem. Tonight in ASV, I'd swear there was not any AI anywhere within 15 nm of my plane. I had the TCAS on the whole time into final and even set the ring to 10 just prior to the middle marker. I went ahead and turned off the Wake Turbulence feature for now, but is there any way Damian can set it not to occur at a certain altitude AGL like he did with the VAS? Maybe an adjustable value even? I like this feature on if possible, especially at higher altitudes in cruise and such.Thanks,Chris

Hi Chris,Strange that none of those people posted here or e-mailed us?I understand what you are saying, but please double check for traffic, even at a parallel runway. WT does have a range of about 4 miles.I'll see about the option.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Actually it was discussed here back in December. Here's the thread at Aeroworx I posted and a few people mentioned it as well.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...&topic_id=14159http://www.aeroworx.com/smf/index.php?topic=873.0It's only happened a few times, but never enough to make me crash like it did last night. Either way, I can't say I had a problem until ASV. If he can work it out like the VAS then cool, if not, no biggie.Thanks,Chris

Hi Chris,Thanks for refreshing my memory from December and for the other thread. I did read through both. I hope you didn't have Increased Wake Effects checked also? Those can be VERY strong.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Not increased wake.
