Systems and methods for presentation of probable wake turbulence

A system located on an ownship, the system comprising:

• a position sensor configured to determine position and heading information of the ownship;
• a communication device configured to receive position and heading information of another aircraft;
• a processor configured to
• determine if a wake condition exists from the other aircraft based on at least a portion of the received information and at least one predefined threshold;
• and
• generate a wake icon if the wake condition is determined to exist;
• and
• an output device configured to output the generated wake icon, the wake icon comprising two or more line segments, each line segment representing a distance between the ownship and the another aircraft, one of the line segments presented in at least one first color, intensity, pattern, or flash rate and another of the line segments presented in at least one second color, intensity, pattern, or flash rate.
