Windshear

Question 1

Do not attempt a takeoff or approach when there is evidence of

Answer 1

a gust front on or near the runway in use

Question 2

Do not attempt a takeoff or approach when an airspeed loss of more than ____ knots is reported below ____‘ AGL by a similar sized aircraft

Answer 2

15 knots, 1000’

Question 3

Execute a go-around immediately if at or below 1000’ AGL an uncontrolled change from normal steady state parameters in excess of:
A. ___ Knots
B. ___ FPM
C. ___ Degrees pitch attitude
D. ___ Dot displacement
E. _______________________

Answer 3

A. 15 knots
B. 500 FPM
C. 5* pitch attitude
D. 1 Dot
E. Abnormal power requirements to regain control

Question 4

A microburst can be characterized by:

Answer 4

A. 6,000 fpm downdraft
B. Increasing headwind followed by an increasing tailwind

Question 5

Approach and Landing windshear avoidance:

Answer 5

Make the approach and landing to a runway which minimizes the windshear threat. Avoid large power reductions or trim changes in responses to sudden airspeed increases since the airspeed increase may be followed by an airspeed decrease.
