An effort has been made to ascertain the envelope-edges for uneventful aircraft penetrations of microburst windshears on the basis of optimal aircraft control strategies. Over 1100 such trajectories have been computed for contemporary airliners and general aviation aircraft, in the case of idealized microbursts, using a successive quadratic program trajectory optimization algorithm able to directly handle inequality constraints. Variations of optimal performance with microburst type, intensity, length scale, and location, define performance limits; these limits fall into short, intermediate, and long microburst length scale regimes. The ability to safely transit a microburst also varies strongly with microburst location.
