Winds quarterly at about 7-9kts, high elevation airfield (3000ft AMSL), flat terrain, and early morning thermals. Could the wake from the heavy aircraft contribute to an environmental perturbance i.e. make you float during the flare (aircraft not sinking as usual as flare commenced and Thrust retarded)
Thanks
