Heavens Gate:

You mentioned the Delta L-1011 windshear accident in Dallas as "TOGA power and proper attitude" did not prevent the accident.

Wrong. It was indeed preventable if proper attitude had been flown.

As this happened in 1985. most airlines did not have the Windshear Escape Maneuver simulator profiles we have today.

The Delta crew did a "normal" go around and never pitched up enough to prevent the sink rate encountered.

Nowadays we are taught in the simulators to pitch up enough to actiavate the stall warning, then stay there.

Never flown an Airbus of any kind, how is the
windshear/microburst escape maneuvers taught in the sims?
Full aft input of both side sticks cancel out
the message to the computer???
Must be a typo or misunderstanding, nobody can get that certified...?
