When you have been in a microburst it is not something that gives you some vague feeling of unease, you very quickly know that things are not right, bigtime.
That is what one would think, yes. But fatigue does interesting things to the brain. Further, we do not know what training the crew actually had (as opposed to what they should have had) nor whether either pilot had ever experienced WS before.
The 737 800 has enhanced EGWPS, with predictive windshear
The preliminary report says that the EGWPS did not go off. Is this evidence, in your mind, that WS did not happen?
A question for any tech geek out there...if the FMS predicts wind sheer is that prediction recorded on the FDR?
