abnormal situation whilst in flight, flight crew
normally prioritise immediate actions in the
following order.
Aviate;
Navigate;
Communicate.
Priority 1.- AVIATE

immediately.
This normally entails the use of an initial call
incorporating the word “standby”.
Priority 2. -NAVIGATE

duration.
WINGTIP VORTICES
circular patterns of rotating air left behind a
wing as it generates lift
Air from below the wing is drawn around the wingtip
into the region above the wing by the lower
pressure above the wing, causing a vortex to trail
from each wingtip.
The strength of wingtip vortices is determined
primarily by the weight and airspeed of the aircraft.
Wingtip vortices make up the primary and most
dangerous component of wake turbulence
