Two piloted simulation experiments were conducted by NLR, in 1994 and 1996, to evaluate a number of novel windshear icon displays, driven either by a scanning laser (1994) or by an Airborne Doppler (weather) Radar (ADR) (1996). In addition several flight procedures of coping with the windshear threat information were also evaluated, in terms of speed additives (1994) or aircraft configuration changes (1996). In the experiment of 1994 also the concept of speed feedback was evaluated: this concept raised the alert thresholds used to warn the crew of windshear whenever the pilot increased the approach speed set in the Autothrottle. This speed feedback concept, although initially appreciated much by the pilots, was later denounced due to its tendency to induce crews to penetrate the windshear. The windshear icon displays evaluated were liked very much by the pilots.
