(Refer to Fig 48 pg. 100) With winds reported as from 300 degrees at 4 knots, you are given instructions to a taxi to runway 30 for departure and to expect to take off after an airliner, which is departing from runway 35L. What effect would you expect from the airliner's vortices?

sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying
above the large aircraft's final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point
