Inflight Event / Encounter Wake Vortex Encounter
Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Environment - Non Weather Related; Procedure
During the BRDJE 3 Arrival into DFW at FL240 we experienced a wake turbulence event requiring disengagement of the autopilot and manual normalization of aircraft attitude. We believe we passed through the descent path of a 787 ahead of us on the arrival. The wind conditions appeared to be a direct headwind which likely kept the wake of the aircraft laterally aligned with the published routing. When sufficient spacing is unavailable; utilize lateral course deviations to the upwind side to mitigate the possibility of a wake turbulence event.
Embraer jet First Officer reported encountering wake turbulence at FL240 in trail of a B787 on arrival into DFW.
