February 5, 201214 yr This is really, really picky. I hit wake turbulence crossing the threshold while landing in a light aircraft behind a heavy, me 7 or so miles behind. Wind was coming a little from the left, relative to my direction, so I should have hit the LEFT wing's vortex that would have been blowing left to right with the wind. The left wing rotates clockwise so I should have been pushed to the right. Instead it flipped me to the left! But it was awesome anyway, and nice to be woken up like that on a calm approach and have to suddenly fight for survival!Oh, and I'm referring to Active Sky Evolution. Gabe Keewaydin
February 5, 201214 yr If I am picturing this correctly, Gabe, you were flying to the LEFT of the LEFT wing? If so the vortex from the left wing does rotate clockwise (the right wing vortex, counter-clockwise) so the rotating wind would have lifted your RIGHT wing thus dumping you to the LEFT! Sounds like it actually was depicting correctly.
