What is included in a precautionary advisory for wake turbulence?

A precautionary advisory for wake turbulence typically includes traffic information. This is crucial because it helps pilots maintain awareness of surrounding aircraft that may be affected by wake turbulence. The advisory informs pilots about the location and movement of other aircraft, allowing them to take necessary precautions, such as adjusting their flight path or altitude to avoid potential encounters with turbulent wakes generated by larger aircraft.

Traffic information is particularly important because the impact of wake turbulence can extend to relatively large distances behind the generating aircraft. Thus, being aware of both the location and type of nearby aircraft enables safer separation and enhances overall safety during flight operations.
