The windshear recovery technique described was developed following a thorough analysis of windshear related accidents and incidents. The recommended manually flown windshear recovery technique requires control of flight path by using maximum thrust and sufficient pitch attitude to establish a positive flight path or to minimize descent. This is done by pitching towards a target attitude of 15 degrees, using maximum rated thrust, and accepting lower than normal airspeeds during the recovery. The technique is relatively simple, easily recalled, generally applicable to all jet transports, and has been demonstrated to be effective in actual windshear encounters. The development and rationale for the recommended recovery technique are briefly outlined.
