Well, I guess you first need to know when there's a reasonable chance of windsheer:
- Near/under TCU/CB/TS
- When passing through an inversion layer or cloud layer
- When a pilot or met report says so

If there is a chance of windsheer, carry some additional speed and if you encounter a stronger than expected windsheer, don't hesitate but put full power on immediately. You can always go around.
