Two numerical models of aircraft performance are developed to relate atmospheric wind signals in wind-shear situations to aircraft response. Both models produce time histories of pitch angle, airspeed, height above the ground, and other parameters for simulating aircraft making precision approaches along a 3-deg glide slope to the runway. Simulations conducted using thunderstorm environment wind data indicate that the horizontal wind component is at least as important as the vertical component in determining aircraft response to wind shear. Obtaining quantitative measurements of aircraft approach or departure quality is found to depend on several factors, including the knowledge of winds along the expected flight track, clear-air detection in a quasi-horizontal path, and a near continuous estimate of approach deterioration due to shear conditions.
