PLT ENCOUNTERS WAKE TURB OR JET BLAST AS ACFT TAXIES ONTO RWY.

Narrative

I WAS HOLDING SHORT FOR TKOF ON RWY 08L. IT WAS A VERY BUSY MORNING WITH LOTS OF ARRIVING AND DEPARTING AIRLINERS. JUST AS ONE AIRLINER LANDED AND STARTED TO TURN OFF THE RWY; ANOTHER ONE WAS CLRED FOR TKOF. I WAS TOLD TO TAXI INTO POS FOR TKOF FROM AN INTXN. I COULD SEE AN AIRLINER ON FINAL; SO I STARTED TAXIING ONTO THE RWY IMMEDIATELY WHEN TOLD TO DO SO. JUST AFTER MY LIGHT SINGLE ENG STARTED ROLLING TOWARD THE RWY; THE R WING POPPED UP IN THE AIR AND THE R MAIN WHEEL EVEN LEFT THE GND. I GOT BOTH WHEELS BACK DOWN WITHOUT DAMAGE; BUT MY NERVES WERE RATTLED. SOMEHOW; I THOUGHT WAKE TURB WAS A PROB WHEN YOU WERE AIRBORNE. NOT SO. APPARENTLY; EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE GND AND YOUR ACFT IS LIGHT ENOUGH YOU HAD BETTER STILL BEWARE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH REPORTER REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: DURING CALLBACK RPTR WAS NOT CLR AS TO WHAT ACFT; LNDG OR DEPARTING; CAUSED THE TURB. HIS ACFT WAS LIGHT AND LINED UP PERPENDICULAR TO THE RWY. ONE WING LIFTED HIGH ENOUGH TO RAISE THE R LNDG WHEEL 1 INCH OFF THE GND. HE WAS GREATLY SURPRISED AT THE EFFECT OF THE BLAST AND KNOWS DEPARTING JETS CAN DO IT. HE HAS A STRONG INTEREST IN GETTING OLD DEP PROCS REINSTITUTED. USED TO BE ABLE TO DEPART FROM MIDFIELD AND AVOID ALL THE JET TURB. RPTR COULD NOT STATE STRONGLY WHETHER HE WAS INVOLVED IN JET BLAST OR WAKE TURB.
