bubbers makes a good point about wx radar...and as we know, there is a bit of an art to tilt esp at low altitudes.

as to windshear recovery...we are almost always at a low energy state as we approach the runway. five seconds is a LONG TIME...throttles to firewall pitch to 15 and hang in there.

just a marginal wx operation? visual deception or mis cue, whichever you like to call it.

and the more gadgets, the more we will repeat accidents in the twilight zone of pilot judgement...
