Windshear RECOGNITION
PF
airspeed - FPV - sink - nose high/low
- Hesitant/excessive airspeed buildup on TO roll or uncommanded airspeed changes of ±10 KCAS on approach
- Uncommanded FPV change of ±2° or VVI change of 500 FPV during TO/approach or low level
- Excessive radar altitude sink rate
- Excessive nose high/low pitch attitude
Windshear RECOGNITION
PM (additional)
GS - wind - wx radar - search lights
- Sudden TW/HW ground speed change of 15 knots or more
- Sudden wind speed/direction changes & differences at altitude from reported airfield winds or reported/forecasted low level winds
- Wx radar indications for red areas surrounding precipitation
- PWS red/black searchlights
Predicted vs. Observed Windshear on Takeoff
Predicted
- MAX thrust
- acceleration check
- delay rotation
Observed
- don’t take off
Windshear RECOVERY
TAKEOFF - Before Vgo
Reject
Windshear RECOVERY
TAKEOFF - After Vgo
- 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
Windshear RECOVERY
APPROACH
- 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
Windshear RECOVERY
LOW LEVEL
- 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
