19
Q

Windshear RECOGNITION
PF

A

airspeed - FPV - sink - nose high/low

  1. Hesitant/excessive airspeed buildup on TO roll or uncommanded airspeed changes of ±10 KCAS on approach
  2. Uncommanded FPV change of ±2° or VVI change of 500 FPV during TO/approach or low level
  3. Excessive radar altitude sink rate
  4. Excessive nose high/low pitch attitude
20
Q

Windshear RECOGNITION
PM (additional)

A

GS - wind - wx radar - search lights

  1. Sudden TW/HW ground speed change of 15 knots or more
  2. Sudden wind speed/direction changes & differences at altitude from reported airfield winds or reported/forecasted low level winds
  3. Wx radar indications for red areas surrounding precipitation
  4. PWS red/black searchlights
21
Q

Predicted vs. Observed Windshear on Takeoff

A

Predicted
- MAX thrust
- acceleration check
- delay rotation

Observed
- don’t take off

22
Q

Windshear RECOVERY
TAKEOFF - Before Vgo

A

Reject

23
Q

Windshear RECOVERY
TAKEOFF - After Vgo

A
  • MAX thrust
  • Pitch to achieve 1-2° positive FPV (400-500 fpm VVI)
    • if a sink exists/develops at 15° pitch & <200’ AGL, smoothly increase pitch to stick shaker/CAWS & mx speed until clear of windshear
  • do not follow FD
  • raise gear after extended period of positive climb rate established & ground contact not a concern (not < 1,000’ AGL)
  • mx 1/2 flaps until windshear exited & Vmfr attained
24
Q

Windshear RECOVERY
APPROACH

A
  • MAX thrust
  • TOGA & disengage AP/ATS
  • flaps 1/2, index unchanged
  • Pitch to achieve 1-2° positive FPV (400-500 fpm VVI)
    • if a sink exists/develops at 15° pitch & <200’ AGL, smoothly increase pitch to stick shaker/CAWS & mx speed until clear of windshear
  • raise gear after extended period of positive climb rate established & ground contact not a concern (not < 1,000’ AGL)
  • mx 1/2 flaps until windshear exited & Vmfr attained
25
Q

Windshear RECOVERY
LOW LEVEL

A
  • MAX thrust initially then as required to obtain/mx turbulence penetration airspeed
    • keep N1 > 45% to avoid flameout
  • flaps 1/2, index unchanged
  • Pitch to achieve 1-2° positive FPV (400-500 fpm VVI)
    • if a sink exists/develops at 15° pitch & terrain impact is imminent, increase pitch to stick shaker/CAWS & mx speed until clear of windshear
