A description is presented of a study which examines not only wind shear, but considers the velocity spectrum of the wind, as it may affect the flight of an aircraft. A model reported by McCarthy and Blick (1976) and by Blick et al. (1978) is considered. The model simulated the approach performance of a Boeing 727-type aircraft, as affected by the time series winds measured along the aircraft's longitudinal axis. Attention is given to the model and its implications, wind shear simulations, and the use of the model in the study of a crash on June 24, 1975.
