The efforts being made in the United States to combat the low altitude windshear threat are reviewed and the influence of windshear on airplane performance is described. Considerable attention is directed toward convective storm phenomena and to the associated flight hazards. Airports are scheduled to be better equipped with Doppler radar to enhance existing systems, providing more timely and reliable warnings of the presence of windshear.
