Wake vortex (WV) produced by a large aircraft has the potential to cause serious damage to smaller aircraft following it. In this context, characterization of WV circulation decay under the reasonable worst case (RWC) conditions allows the separation minima to be found safely. In this study, modeling of dimensionless decay curves, which were developed using three experimental LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) datasets in the RECAT-EU project and is a useful tool to characterize the wake vortex circulation decay under RWC conditions, was carried out using cuckoo search algorithm (CSA). The decay curves used in the modeling are the median (P50), 10th (P10), and 90th (P90) percentile decay curves of the RWC tracks, which constitute the top 2% longest lasting wakes. The fact that the correlation coefficient (R) values are very close to 1 for all datasets as a result of the error analysis shows that the prediction success of the CSA model is quite high.
