B757 Windshear go-around?
Hi,
New to the aeroplane and airline flying, FI background. LPC/OPC next week.
My company manual says that changes to flap/gear position should not be attempted until positively clear of the shear and Vref+5 or greater.
On short final, with gear down and flap 30. After windshear EGPWS warning, one selects max thrust and pitches up to the PLI. My question is that shouldn't this be accompanied by immediate selection of gear up and flap 20 - as per a normal go-around? Why delay getting rid of the extra drag?
Maybe a minor point, but something that crossed my mind whilst revising.
Thanks for any clarification.
