Question

alright, being new to the flying feild, i dont really know all the stuff that everyone is talking about. however i did find many of the comments to be well founded.

what my question deals with is how exactly does wake turbulance (when encoutered by a medium to large size aircraft)? Since i have never flown a large aircraft (unless you would like to consider my piper warrior one <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> ) i have not encountered wake turbulance.

Also, when an aircraft encouteres jet "upset" at low to medium altitude, what are the basic manuvers to perform to correct the situation (ie. do you use the rudder to correct the situation at a high angle of attack instead of using the alierons for fear of stall?)

just to clearify, i am a student pilot (only a few hours in as of yet) and am working on my ppl here in the u.s. so if i dont make any sense...please understand i am rather new to this!!! thanks!
