It is pointed out that wind shear, particularly at the lower altitudes in the terminal area, has been identified as being hazardous to aircraft operations. Accurate and reliable wind profiles are required for use in fast time and manned flight simulation studies aimed at fully defining and understanding the wind shear hazard. A description is presented of wind speed profiles for neutral and stable atmospheric conditions developed for the simulation studies to improve the safety and reliability of operations in the terminal area. The wind shear is mathematically modeled and the mathematical scenarios are presented in a format for direct application to wind shear hazard/flight simulation studies.
