Thanks, that is certainly doable....

just broadcast the winds over ATIC or ACARS, typically at 1000 feet and 500 feet for configuration purposes...

then if there is a windshear, broadcast the speed and direction changes with altitude so one has time to decide on config....

the system updates every 10 seconds or so, that giving enough time to change the message....and with the locations of the system, enough time to react, if things get real ugly with something like a microburst, for a GA...
