Windshear Training Aid. Volume 2. Substantiating Data
Windshear is defined as a sudden change in wind direction and/or speed over a relatively short distance. It can be especially hazardous if encountered at low altitude when an aircraft is taking off or landing and has neither the altitude nor airspeed to recover. The training aid has two important objectives: (1) training for recognition and avoidance of weather phenomena that cause windshear and (2) cockpit recognition and recovery techniques. The training aid stresses that avoidance of windshear is a pilot's best defense. To this end, it puts heavy emphasis on recognizing the meteorological clues that indicate the possible existence of low level windshear and the need for pilots to base their operational decisions on this information. When a pilot is caught in windshear, the training aid notes that a pilot has only limited time to recognize the problem and begin recovery. Volume 2 contains Substantiating Data.
