Windshear A320
Hello all, happy new year.
Question, if you experience windshear on takeoff and do a “windshear toga” escape manoeuvre, will the aircraft still go from SRS to CLB, or will the FACs keep you in SRS?
The reason why I ask is I’m aware some companies use a relatively low accel altitude,
Assuming it goes into CLB & still in windshear, you’d have to turn off FDs and pitch towards 17.5 if I’m not mistaken.
Slightly goes against the memory procedure which tells you to follow FDs?
Secondly, if the reactive windshear isn’t active till 1300ft on arrival, but PWS works from 2500-1300
If you experienced actual reactive conditions at 1600ft, would the aircraft just say “windshear ahead”? and then as PF, you have to make the decision as to whether you’re actually in it and therefore do a windshear toga, or go around flaps if you determine that you are not in the shear (based on the conditions listed in FCTM along with some common sense)
Or if >1300 and in actual windshear conditions would it just not give you any warnings?
many thanks
