Question 1

In the case of suspected windshear, predictive windshear aural alert “MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY”, or predictive windshear ADVISORY ICON displayed on the ND, the flight crew should either delay the approach or divert to another airport.

However, if the approach is continued, the flight crew should consider the following:

Answer 1

• Evaluate conditions for safe landing by using the observations and experience, and by checking the weather conditions
• The weather severity must be assessed with the weather radar display
• A most favorable runway must be considered
• A Conf 3 landing should be considered
• The use of managed speed in the approach phase is recommended to take advantage of the G/S mini function
• The flight crew may increase VAPP displayed on MCDU PERF APP page up to a maximum VLS +15 kt. In case of strong or gusty crosswind greater than 20 kt.
• In very difficult weather conditions, the A/THR response time may not be sufficient to manage the instantaneous loss of airspeed.
