Pre-takeoff checklist
Heard something from ATC today I didn't like.., .
On a flight from O22-OVE today while at 6,500' NorCal comes on and tells me an MD80 was gonna cross my path at 8,000' "caution wake turbulence".
I responded with I was going to decend to 4,500'.. All the while wondering when I was gonna be hit with anything. So my question is what would you have done? I assumed I took appropriate action and aside from mechanical turbulence we felt nothing.. I did a steady 600' per minute decent..
A few minutes prior to that I seen a heavy crossing overhead at maybe 3500-4000' separation and was concerned with that but felt nothing.
Anyways we made it home and that's all that matters
