Windshear Flashcards
1
Q
Windshear
WDR TOPR
A
- WS Thrust Prompt
- Use highest flap setting available
2
Q
Windshear
Recommended Approach Flap Setting
A
Flaps 30
3
Q
Wind Shear Recognition
A
- 15 kt airspeed
- 500 fpm VVI
- 5 degrees pitch
- 1 dot Glide Slope displacement
- unusual thrust lever position for significant time
4
Q
PF Windshear Escape Maneuver
A
- AP & AT - OFF
- TO/GA - Press
- Max Thrust
- Wings Level & 15 degrees initial Pitch
- Follow F/D guidance
- Retract Speed Brakes
- Do not change Flaps / Gear until out of WS
- Monitor VVI and Altitude
- Do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until out of WS
5
Q
PM Windshear Escape
A
- Assure Max Thrust
- Verify all actions complete; call out omissions
- Advice WS Guidance is activated
- Monitor VVI and Altitude
- Call out trend toward terrain, descending flight path, or significant airspeed changes
6
Q
Predictive Windshear Caution
CAWS Warning & Phase of Flight Actions
A
” MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY “
* Prior to V1 - Reject
* After Takeoff - Maneuver to avoid WS
* On Approach - WS Escape or normal G/A
7
Q
Predictive Windshear Warning
CAWS Warning & Phase of Flight Actions
A
” WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD “
* Prior to V1 - Reject
* After Takeoff - perform WS Escape
8
Q
Predictive Windshear Warning
CAWS Warning & Phase of Flight Actions
A
“GO-AROUND, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”
* On Approach - WS Escape or normal G/A
9
Q
WS at or near V1 w/airspeed stagnation or decrease & insufficient runway to left to stop
A
- Ensure Max Thrust
- At VR but NLT 2,000’ remaining initiate normal rotation towards 15 degrees even if airspeed is low
- Once airborne, perform WS Escape Maneuver
10
Q
Post Windshear Considerations
A
- Set Thrust & Pitch for phase of flight
- Establish aircraft config for phase of flight
- Re-establish automation
- Windshear PIREP to ATC
- Complete normal checklists (After Takeoff)
