Windshear Flashcards
WS Escape Manoeuvre
-Disengage Autopilot
-Push TOGA
-Aggressively apply max thrust
-Disengage Auto Throttle
-Simultaneously Roll wings level and rotate towards 15deg pitch
-Retract Speed brakes
-Follow FD if available.
Do not change gear or flap config until WS no longer a factor
Monitor VS and Alt
Do not attempt to regain lost IAS until WS no longer a factor
WS on Takeoff
Rotate at least 2000ft (609m)
(Start of touch down zone markings) before end of runway
Pitch to 15deg
Carry out escape manoeuvre
Wind shear condition
Below 1000ft
Changes in excess of.
15kts indicated speed
5 deg pitch attitude
1 dot from glide slope
Unusual thrust lever position for sustained period
Reducing headwind/ increasing tailwind
Drop in Airspeed equalling increased ROD
Increasing Headwind/ positive shear
Sudden Increase in IAS
Tendency for Autothrottle to pull thrust off to maintain speed
Risk of ending up in low energy state
