Wind shear accidents during landing and approach could generally be avoided by using modern flight control systems. The problem is to inform the pilot by an adequate wind shear warning display, that he can understand the reaction of the control system. Wind shear is particularly dangerous if it occurs in a height of approximately 80 to 120 m, where the attention of the cockpit crew is affected by getting view contact to the ground. Wind shear during take-off and go-around is a pure flight performance problem. Pilots should avoid a take-off into a thunderstorm. In moderate downbursts a practicable escape maneuver is to maintain the flight level at a low height to pass the core of the downburst before starting the climb. This procedure can also be applied on the go-around.
