As a sidebar issue...
I know that many of us enjoy unfettered ACARS Wx METARS, but when is CASA going to require the addition of dew point to the ATIS info? Microburst wind shear is a function of relative humidity as much as anything, and the only indicators of that are cloud base height and/or temp/dew point spread.
I am aware of two 737 wind shear events in the last 15 years that ended up in very alarming recoveries...one was a 737 that got below 50' over a mile from the threshold of 01 at BNE. Since I am not in the traditional loop for that kind of info I can only surmise that there have been more than those two...
Finally...that DC-9 accident report criticised the use of less than normal landing flaps, yet the use of the minimum acceptable flap is the recommended industry norm these days, for both take-off and landing when wind shear is suspected or anticipated.
