W/S

Question 1

What is Windshear?

Answer 1

change of wind and or spd, direction over a short distance along a flight path

Question 2

What is the difference between Predictive W/S and Immediate W/S?

Answer 2

Predictive is detected ahead

Immediate = excessive downdraft or tailwind occurring now.

Question 3

What are immediate W/S alerts?

Answer 3

“WS WS WS”

<1500

Question 4

What are predictive W/S Alerts?

Answer 4

WS Ahead X 2

GA WS Ahead ( with 1.5 miles)
Monitor Radar Display (within 3 miles)

Question 5

When do Predictive W/S Alerts occur on app ?

Answer 5

Scanning start at 2300 RA

Alert occur <1200 RA

Question 6

When do Predictive W/S Alerts occur on TOF ?

Answer 6

WX is pushed

Or Thrust on one engine set to takeoff thrust and reverses are not locked.

Question 7

How do you recognize W/S below 1000AGL?

Answer 7

Excess of:

IAS +- 15kts
\+- 500 fpm 
\+- 5D pitch
1 dot on Glideslope
Unusual thrust level pos for a significant period of time

Question 8

How do you recognize W/S in general?

Answer 8

frontal passage
Virga
Pireps
Low level ws alerting system
Forecast
Large temp / due point spread
Temp inversion
thunderstorm
large change in wind dir/spd
Heavy precip

Question 9

If wind shear is confirmed, what is the commonsense thing to do?

Answer 9

Delay, discontinue tof or app

Question 10

W/S ahead b4 v1 you should?

Answer 10

Reject

Question 11

W/S after v1 you should?

Answer 11

preform WEM

Question 12

W/S is encounter b4 v1 with insufficient rwy. Wt should you do?

Answer 12

Rotate at VR, normal rate the do WEM

Question 13

If W/S occurs near VR and suddenly drop in airspeed, you may not have enough rwy to stop or accelerate to normal speed.

Answer 13

Rotate at a normal rate the last 2000 (amber lights) before rwy end even if A/S is low.

May need higher than normal pitch ATT
set max thrust
Do WEM

Question 14

What are the FCOM precaution for WS during takeoff?

Answer 14

Full Rate TOF
1500' Thr Red
Flps 20 or 15 if limited by clb gradient or obst
Longest rwy
Set Vr but rotate at Vr+20

Question 15

What are FCOM precautions for App and landing?

Answer 15

Delay app
Flps 25 or 30
longest rwy now ws

Question 16

What is the PF W.E.M manual?

Answer 16

AP DISC
TOGA
MAX Thrust (Full FWD -aggressive)
ATT DISC 
W/L +  15D Same time
SB retracted
FD Toga Guidance if avail
No config  Chang (Flp or Grn)
...... 
Mointor V/S + ALT

Question 17

What is the PF W.E.M Auto?

Answer 17

Toga
Verify TOGA FMA
Verify Toga thrust
Sb retracted
Monitor sys perf
No config  Chang (Flp or Grn)
...... 
Mointor V/S + ALT

Question 18

What is the PM W.E.M Auto?

Answer 18

Verify GA Thrust
Verify required actions completed
Call omissions

Question 19

What is the PM W.E.M Manaual ?

Answer 19

Verify max thrust
Verify required actions completed
Call omissions
No config  Chang (Flp or Grn)
...... 
Mointor V/S + ALT
Call out trend towards terrain

Question 20

How do notice W/S on Spd tape?

Answer 20

Trend vector cut in half or negative

Question 21

A tip for keeping straight ahead in W/S

Answer 21

Hdg or trk select

Question 22

PM focus and calls in a WEM?

Answer 22

Check ND Twind spd and altitude
Climbing or Descending
RA Callouts

When a change to headwind + >MSA out of wind shear
Put on Automation
