Windshear ​

During Final Approach ​

Siren (optional), "Windshear, Windshear, Windshear" aural warning and red WIND SHR warning on the PFD are illuminated:

  1. Immediately initiate AFM go-around procedure
    • Except do not retract flaps or landing gear.

  2. Maintain takeoff target pitch attitude and wings level, allowing airspeed to decrease if necessary.
    • Do not retract flaps or gear.
  3. If the aircraft continues to descend, increase pitch target attitude smoothly and in small increments, bleeding airspeed as necessary to stop the descent. Use stall warning onset (stick shaker) as the upper limit of pitch attitude.
  4. Maintain escape attitude and thrust and delay retracting flaps or landing gear until safe climbout is assured.
