 km of a small airport. Wind turbines generate electricity byextracting momentum from the atmosphere, creating downwind wakescharacterized by wind-speed deficits and increased turbulence. Recently, theconcern that turbine wakes pose hazards for small aircraft has been used tolimit wind-farm development. Herein, we assess roll hazards to small aircraftusing large-eddy simulations (LES) of a utility-scale turbine wake. Wind-generatedlift forces and subsequent rolling moments are calculated for hypotheticalaircraft transecting the wake in various orientations. Stably and neutrallystratified cases are explored, with the stable case presenting a possibleworst-case scenario due to longer-persisting wakes permitted by lower ambientturbulence. In both cases, only 0.001<
