    The document lists letters and numbers with the letters B, C, and A appearing most frequently. It then provides definitions and descriptions of vortices including that they are whirling masses of fluid that form when a fluid is stirred, can occur on land, air or water, and stretch, twist and interact with surrounding fluid. It further describes that vortices generate negative pressure over wings and increase lift in a non-linear way beyond normal attached lift. Potential hazards are also mentioned such as windward stall from wind and vortices carrying away from the flight path.

    1) A whirling mass of fluid of air especially a whirlpool or whirlwind.
    2) Formed when a fluid of air is stirred or spun. This natural phenomenon can take place on land,
    air and water. When formed the can completely stretched, twist and interact with the
    surrounding fluid.
    3) Vortex generates a high negative pressure field on the top of the wing. Vortex lift increases the
    angle of attack or unattached flow adding to the normal attached lift as an extra non-linear
    component of the overall lift.
    4) i) Wind may lead to windward stall posing a potential hazard to subsequently landing the
    aircraft.
    ii)winds may carry a vortex away from the flight path which the aircraft generating them has
    followed.
