We couldn't find much information on t'Internet related to aircraft and the wind farm company in question knew absolutely nothing about the effect of vortices on aircraft, and, predictably, cared even less. We were not consulted about the siting, only presented with a fait accompli after the planning permission had been agreed, when it was too late to propose alternatives.
The CAA have sponsored a study into the effect of turbulence on GA aircraft: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/flight-scie ... -aircraft/. However, neither the university, nor the CAA, appears to have adequately summarised the findings for the GA community. The original research report is: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/media/livac ... report.pdf. Predictably, distilling out the useful information from this academic paper is somewhat difficult for a layman. Is there anyone out there who could do the job of the CAA and interpret the findings and implications in a way most of us can readily understand (and, perhaps, write a short report in the LAA mag.)?
