We're talking about a windshear in the Airbus not forgetting to put an NADP 1 in the box. Selecting speed with AP in a windshear is not an appropriate response.
From the QRH:
A red flag “WINDSHEAR” is displayed on each PFD associated with an aural synthetic voice “WINDSHEAR” repeated three times. If windshear is detected by pilot observation, apply the following recovery technique: ■ At takeoff
■ If before V1
The takeoff should be rejected only if significant airspeed variations occur below indicated V1 and the pilot decides that there is sufficient runway remaining to stop the airplane.
■ If after V1 THR LEVERS...................................................... ...................................TOGA REACHING VR.......................................................... .........................ROTATE SRS ORDERS...................................................... .............................FOLLOW If necessary, the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: 1. Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot. 2. If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5°. Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.
■ Airborne, initial climb or landing THR LEVERS AT TOGA........................................................ SETORCONFIRM AP (if engaged).................................................... .........................................KEEP SRS ORDERS...................................................... ..................................FOLLOW If necessary, the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: 1. Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot. 2. If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5°. Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.
DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION (SLATS/FLAPS, GEAR) UNTIL OUT OF SHEAR. CLOSELY MONITOR FLIGHT PATH AND SPEED. RECOVER SMOOTHLY TO NORMAL CLIMB OUT OF SHEAR.
Where does selecting speed come into this?
