A DASH 8-200 ACR FLC HAS SEVERAL WAKE ENCOUNTERS BEHIND A DC10-10 WHILE BEING VECTORED FOR AN APCH TO RWY 7 AT DEN. THE DC10 WAS AHEAD AND ABOVE THE DASH 8 DURING THE PORTION OF THE APCH UP TO THE FAF WHERE THE FLC FINALLY WAS ABLE TO STAY HIGHER THAN THE DC 10 AND AVOID ITS WAKE.

Narrative

FLYING AS A REGIONAL CARRIER; WE DSND AND FLY BELOW THE JETS ON MOST OF OUR ARRS; POWDER.2 IN THIS CASE. WE DSNDED TO 16000 FT. ACR DC10 WAS CLRED TO FL190. WE COULD HEAR HIS COM WITH APCH CTL. AS WE GOT IN CLOSER TO DEN; WE DSNDED/LEVELED AT 10000 FT; DC10 AT 11000 FT. THE CTLR TURNED US IN A ZIGZAG FASHION WITH VECTORS TO PASS BEHIND AND UNDERNEATH THE DC10 TWICE. BOTH TIMES WE EXPERIENCED MODERATE JOLTS OF TURB. THE DC10 MADE APCH AND LNDG TO RWY 7. WE FOLLOWED ON A VECTOR THAT APPEARED IT MIGHT TAKE US AGAIN INTO HIS TURB AND QUERIED THE CTLR THIS TIME. WE DID NOT FIND HIS WAKE CLOSER TO THE GND. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THIS DASH 8-200 FLC HAD SEVERAL ENCOUNTERS WITH A DC10-10'S WAKE WHILE BEING VECTORED FOR AN APCH TO A RWY 7 APCH AT DEN. THE INITIAL WAKE ENCOUNTER OCCURRED AT THE DVV 222/50 THEN AT LEAST 3 MORE INCIDENTS; ACCORDING TO THE RPTR. HE SAID THAT EACH WAS LIKE HITTING A SPD BUMP. THERE WAS NO ROLLING MOMENT ONLY AN UP AND DOWN MOVEMENT THAT WAS OF VERY SHORT DURATION. THE DC10 WAS ABOUT 3000 FT ABOVE THE DASH WHEN THE FLC FIRST SAW IT AND REMAINED ABOVE THEM UNTIL TURNING TO FINAL FOR RWY 7. THE RPTR SAID THAT THEY NEVER GOT CLOSER THAN 8 NM IN TRAIL OF THE DC10. THE FLC RPTED THEIR INITIAL JOLT TO THE CTLR AND SHE THEN GAVE THEM A STANDARD WAKE ADVISORY OF ACFT TYPE AND RANGE. HOWEVER; THE RPTR SAID THAT THIS SAME CTLR LATER BECAME IRRITATED WHEN THE FLC ATTEMPTED TO AVOID YET ANOTHER VECTOR THROUGH THE DC 10'S WAKE. THE FLC FOLLOWED THE DC10 TO RWY 7; BUT STAYED HIGH ON FINAL APCH AND HAD NO ENCOUNTERS DURING THAT PART OF THE FLT.
