When landing behind a large aircraft, to avoid wake turbulence, a pilot should stay...

Staying above the large aircraft's final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point is the appropriate strategy to avoid wake turbulence. Wake turbulence can be significant when a larger aircraft generates vortices that descend and linger in the air. If a smaller aircraft lands too close behind a larger one, it can encounter these vortices, which can lead to loss of control.

By remaining above the large aircraft’s final approach path, the smaller aircraft will be less likely to encounter the wake turbulence as it descends. Additionally, landing beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point means that any vortices that have descended will have dissipated or moved, reducing the risk further. This approach takes into account both maintaining a safe altitude and adequate horizontal distance from where the larger aircraft is landing, thereby enhancing safety during the landing phase.
