In flight wake vortex
I am aware of the separation used at airfields to aviod wake vortex incidents, but wondered how much of an issue or concern it is for controllers when providing an information service?
For example, if I am flying South from Wycombe Blackbushe, at the edge of the London CTR and just below the 2500ft base of the LTMA, with an FIS or RIS from Heathrow Radar, would the controller consider the issue of Wave Vortex from Heathrow departures, or in practice are they sufficiently clear of the edges of the controlled airspace for it not to be an issue?
There was a recent AAIB report of a helicopter affected by turbulence near Luton that was put down to wake vortex, which is the only incident that I have heard of.
