So my wife and I flew to middle GA this weekend. I always fly around ATL class B. However, this time we were flying much higher than I usually fly. We were at 9,500 ft and saw a plane on my ADS-B. Looked to our left and it was a Southwest jet. It crossed two miles in front of us and we saw it clear as day. Really cool to see and then I started thinking about wake turbulence. I immediately started to climb and by the time I got to were the jet had passed in front of us, I was 500 ft above its path. We didn't feel any turbulence at all. I was just wanting to ask everyone if this is what they would have done? Also, if we had gone directly under its path, would we have gotten a lot of turbulence? What is a safe distance to avoid serious wake complications?
