This lateral movement takes place at a speed of about two or three knots. This distance is measured when the preceding aircraft is over the runway threshold. That makes it harder for the aircraft to fit into hangars and airport gates. As at higher altitudes, the vortex movement near the ground is affected by crosswinds.

With as much as 25 knots of tailwind, we made the flight from Sodus to Alton Bay in only two hours. Rolling out on final approach, I was surprised to see another airplane stopped right at the runway threshold. Should that guy be so close to the threshold?"
