The blast is always pretty hot. In the winter they can blow snow onto you, or melt snow that can refreeze into ice. The blast doesn't linger, it's present behind the jet and attenuates quickly with distance.<br /><br /><b>Ed</b>: The vortices won't start until the point the jet rotates which will be <i>well</i> down the runway. To be clear in cse ont everyone realizes: jet blast and wake turbulence vortices are different things.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-90176717447177282422014-03-22T13:20:33.403+00:002014-03-22T13:20:33.403+00:00I like operatons like that.

What if you have to go around - e.g., if the jet blast had upset your landing a bit more? OK, you'd probably actually climb above the vortices but it does seem a bit dubious.Ed Davieshttp://edavies.me.uk/#ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-47129988626884544032014-03-22T05:41:24.543+00:002014-03-22T05:41:24.543+00:00Does jet exhaust pose more of an issue with very c...Does jet exhaust pose more of an issue with very cold air, or warmer or hot air?
