Wow...Captain with a man-top-bun....awesome.

Master plan uncovered. You win!

He-Hive? Maybe ;)

Gonna nominate myself for the absolutely terrible ILS I flew today.

We were close behind a Super in our little RJ, in IMC, so I clicked off the AP so I could stay a dot high on GS, then clicked off the FD because its 'fly down' commands were getting distracting. Ended up off centerline and high. I made it work, and we were never outside our SOP tolerances, and we landed in the TDZ, but it was one of those days where you just feel like you've forgotten how to fly. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow will be better...

When you say you weren't outside sop. That means you probably were.

You need to check out the FAA video on how wingtip vortices work. Unless you had a tailwind, there's no need for you to ever fly an ILS "a dot high". Doing that only puts your vortices in the next guy's glide path.

He was in a RJ following a Super. Good catch in case a C-172 was next on approach.

I'll go for the 1/2-1 dot high in that case too depending on ceiling height. I see your point if the Super's are never a dot high and tailwinds are never present on approach.

Tailwinds, sure. But a Super is probably flying a coupled approach.

I've encountered significant wake turbulence on glideslope with no tailwind and I'm sure hundreds others on this forum have, too.

Sometimes the vortices behave like the textbook ones, sometimes they don't. Sometimes local effects like a thermal could hold them up in place right in the glideslope with no tailwind at all.

If you feel wake starting, be a pilot and come up 1/4 or a half dot on the G/S.

Tool-of-the-day would be the one who drones along through the wake waiting for the really good jolt of it down low around 100-200', the kind that can push an RJ or even E170 size jet laterally right off the runway course.

I even had to go around last year in a 717 following an A330. At 200' we hit wake that quickly pushed us to the side and got us in an uncorrectable spot. Nothing could be done but go-around.
