What effect would a crosswind of 5 knots or less have on the wingtip vortices generated by a large aircraft that had just taken off?
A) A light crosswind would rapidly dissipate the strength of both vortices.
B) The upwind vortex would tend to remain on the runway longer than the downwind vortex.
C) Both vortices would move downwind at a greater rate than if the surface wind was directly down the landing runway.
