The pitch you are talking about at 04 seconds has nothing to do with the resulting high ROD, the structure of the runway of 23 creates a vortex and is unpredictable and can be severe even when the wind is in limits, the PAPIs in the final stages of an approach become unreliable and the focus is on aiming point, also a quick check of your Airbus FCTM will inform you that Flap 3 if preferred for wind shear due better go around performance but flap full is preferred for controllability. My point was flap 3 doesn’t protect you from wind shear it only serves to make GA performance better.
