FACs on 320 family, PRIMs on 330/340. Not sure about the rest of the Airbi.

Predictive windshear works by comparing doppler shifts of radar returns so it will detect windshear only when there's liquid precipitation involved. However as strongest windshears are associated with areas of severe rainfall (or virga), it is quite useful.
