In a recent wake turbelence (Vortices) training course the course stated that the Vortices will move laterally at approximately 2 - 3 mph. On parallel runways this is a real hazard.

The Wake Turbelence vortices will also sink approximately 1000 feet below the altitude of the aircraft that generated them.
