sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence

Answer

rise from a crossing runway into the takeoff or landing path

Answer

rise into the traffic pattern area surrounding the airport

Question 9

What is ground effect?

Accepted Answer

The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane
