Windshear
I want an opinion of the majority of experienced pilots on this forum:
Simulated windshear on takeoff- exercises in SIM always warrant a nose down after f/d transitions from pitch to speed mode just after takeoff in windshear.
I am of the opinion that in severe windshear an attitude of 15 degrees should be established even if windshear protection/ guidance is available.
The reason I think so is coz, Severe windshear mostly comes as a surprise or shock (unlike in simulator when one is expecting it) / lowering the nose while flying manually (while following f/d guidance) to recover airspeed cannot be achieved as precisely as maybe the autopilot does it (especially so in turbulent flight conditions and just like autolands cant be done manually by following f/d guidance) / Indicated decreasing airspeed may be false in a tailwind shear while groundspeed may be constant and the situation may not warrant a lower pitch attitude / Lowering the nose in a downdraft may be accentuated because of the draft itself and may not be recoverable.
Appreciate your thoughts.
