Keywords: trajectory planning, wake vortex, separation, flat system

This paper describes tools for aircraft guidance in wake turbulence based on predictive modelling of the vortices and on board and ground based measurements. The proposed avoidance tools are based on potential field methods using flatness properties of the aircraft flight mechanic model in order to build feasible trajectories.
