the CAA initiated a 3-year PhD research project with the University of Liverpool that will simulate a light aircraft encounter with wind turbine wakes. The study will collect and compile wake characterisation and wake generation data from existing sources and will perform simulations of aircraft/wake encounters
If this study doesn't compare the results with light aircraft responses to other turbulence sources it will be useless as a policy tool.
