Windshear

Question 1

Considerations for windshear on takeoff

Answer 1

TOGA Thrust
Longest runway

Question 2

Recognizing windshear (3 things)

Answer 2

“SPEED, SPEED, SPEED”
“WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR” with red WINDSHEAR on FD
Unacceptable flight deviations

Question 3

Windshear unacceptable flight deviations

Answer 3

+/-:
15 KIAS
500 FPM
5 deg pitch
1 dot on glideslope
And/or
Unusual engine thrust setting for a significant period of time

Question 4

Windshear escape (PF)

Answer 4

TOGA
A/P OFF
FOLLOW F/D
(If no F/D, 17.5)

No config changes
Monitor vert speed and alt
Do not try to regain lost airspeed

Question 5

Windshear escape (PM)

Answer 5

Assure TOGA
Verify actions
Monitor and call out VSI, RADALT

Question 6

“GO AROUND WINDSHEAR AHEAD”
(321)

Answer 6

Warning on approach.
PFD: W/S AHEAD (red)
ND: Windshear icon.

Do: TOGA, normal go-around

Question 7

“WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD.”
(321)

Answer 7

Warning on takeoff.
PFD: W/S AHEAD (red)
ND: Windshear icon.

Do: Reject takeoff

Question 8

“MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY” on approach
(321)

Answer 8

Caution on approach.
PFD: W/S AHEAD (amber)
ND: Windshear icon.
Do: TOGA, normal go-around

Question 9

“MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY” on takeoff
(321)

Answer 9

Caution on takeoff.
PFD: W/S AHEAD (amber)
ND: Windshear icon.
Do: Rejected takeoff

Question 10

Predictive windshear inhibited:

Answer 10

Between 100kts and up to 50 feet RA

Question 11

Windshear on takeoff, initiate rotation no later than:

Answer 11

2000 feet from departure end

Question 12

If moderate or greater turbulence expected:

Answer 12

Use ignition for takeoff or approach

Question 13

TOPR for windshear conditions

Answer 13

WS in the Thrust field
