Will you retract slats/flaps in windshear?
Recently, I had a sim session and handled a windshear exercise immediately after T/O. Airspeed went way above S momentarily while I was maintaining FD.
After completion of the session, Instruction debriefed that I should have retracted the slats/flaps to prevent damage to them.
In my opinion, FD guidance will adjust accordingly to prevent such speed excursion, so I shouldn't retract the slats/flaps and stick to the written procedure.
We entered into windshear immediately after take-off - red WINDSHEAR warning with audio.
Speed excursion was momentary. Speed decreased below S after the excursion. So we were NOT out of windshear, the time when Instructor wished I should have retracted the S/F
I wish to know if you had similar experiences and your useful opinion
