In 1993 and 1994, two manned investigations were carried out on the NLR moving base Research Flight Simulator (RFS), concerning several aspects involving the use of an advanced forward-looking windshear detection system in the final approach phase of a flight. In the first (1993) experiment, three windshear detection systems were evaluated separately, or in combination, together with three specific flight procedures, without presenting any weather (or windshear) information to the crew on a weather type of display. The three systems evaluated consisted of functional models of: a reactive windshear detection system, a non-scanning LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) forward-looking windshear detection system, and a ground-based Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system. With the latter a ground-to-air data-uplink connection to the aircraft cockpit was simulated.
