29
Q

What is indicated on the NDs during an advisory?

A

PWS area

30
Q

What triggers a windshear alert?

A

When the aircraft encounters wind gradients during takeoff and landing, which could reduce the margin towards stall.

31
Q

What visual indication is provided during a windshear alert?

A

A red windshear message displayed on both PFDs that flashes for 9 seconds and then remains steady as long as the windshear is detected.

32
Q

What aural signal accompanies the windshear alert?

A

An aural WINDSHEAR alert using a synthetic voice.

33
Q

Which system performs the reactive windshear detection?

A

The PRIMs perform the reactive windshear detection.

34
Q

When is reactive windshear detection available during takeoff?

A

From 50 ft or 3 seconds after liftoff, and until reaching 1,300 ft.

35
Q

When is reactive windshear detection available during landing?

A

From 1,300 ft to 50 ft.

36
Q

What condition must be met for reactive windshear detection to be available?

A

The slats/flaps configuration must be different from the clean configuration.
