It's becoming more apparent that windshear as a flight hazard is much more prevalent than was once thought. As a result of several accidents and incidents over the last few years resulting in a significant loss of life, the aviation industry and the FAA have begun an intense program to study the phenomenon and develop programs to illeviate the problem. Airborne detection/alert and guidance systems are being developed by many of the aircraft equipment manufacturers including the Sperry Corporation as well as several of the airframe companies. This paper will explore how the fact of a detected windshear such as a downburst should be depicted to the pilot including warning lights, aural warnings and angle of attack presentations, as well as flight guidance information to be used in the escape maneuver on the Flight Director Displays.
