will the Airbus start turning or come back to the previous attitude and compensates the wake?
thanks!

WAKE TURBULENCE RECOVERY:
If the aircraft encounters wake turbulence, pilot input can amplify the effect of the vortices. All of
the following is therefore recommended:
‐ Do not use the rudder: Use of the rudder does not reduce the severity of the encounter, nor
does it enhance the ease of recovery.
‐ Keep the AP ON: The AP is able to correctly manage roll and pitch movements that are
generated by wake turbulence. However, if the aircraft encounters severe wake turbulence, the
AP may disconnect.
‐ If the AP was set to OFF by the flight crew or automatically disconnected, release the controls
and wait for a reasonable stabilization of the aircraft.
When the aircraft is stabilized perform both of the following:
‐ Roll wings level
‐ Establish again the trajectory.
