* Windshear encountered ("Windshear, Windshear, Windshear" warning or unacceptable flight path deviations). It is a FD guided maneuver (activated by TOGA), I don't understand why you would try to control airspeed with pitch control when the FD should be guiding you.
Personal thoughts: above 500ft AGL I wouldn't really call it a safe altitude to end a windshear maneuver, that's really low. If things turn around suddenly to 2000fpm ROD, you hit the ground in 15secs. Also, you would consider setting the flaps in movement in gusty conditions at placard speeds (hence g-forces and wingload present)? I would prefer to keep them where they are until conditions settle down a little.
