Interesting responses -hmmm
Say your on final in a Citation vs a 747 in the sim
They give you windshear on final, your reaction time, powering through it, your plane's ability to accelerate through it, climb or maintain alt, through this situation is really what we are talking about here.
Some aircraft are lumbering beasts, other more nimble, with a higher power to weight retio an accelerate faster.
A plane that can climb 4000ft/min vs a light aircraft that might do 500ft, will be much better in windshear so I am not sure about the mass theory your expounding. Also a given amount of wind will have a harder time to move a bigger, heavier object, then a smaller light one. so in winshear, I would rather be the brick with power then the feather with power.
It's not about weight and inertia, it's about your ability to power through it, how much excess speed you have that will translate into a climb, performance ect.
I can just see the sim instructors pulling out the calculators explaining this, while the students are crashing the planes in the sim.
