Adding <em>Heavy</em>  to the call sign is a reminder that the airplane generates a large  amount of dangerous wake turbulence on takeoff and landing. Air traffic  controllers increase the spacing behind heavies so airplanes that follow  them don’t encounter the turbulence.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"><strong>Examples of a few heavies:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong></strong> Boeing 747, 757, 767, 777, 787.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">Airbus A300, A310, A330, A340, A350, A380</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px">The Boeing 757 is designated a <em>Heavy</em> even though the  aircraft’s max takeoff weight is less than 300,000 pounds because it  generates a significant amount of wake turbulence.</span></p></blockquote><p></p>
