All well and good mate but when it happens at 500´as is often the case here in LIS then one tends to believe the guage. Especially when the donks are spooling up like mad, the mdlc has fully retracted and the sink rate is heading for 1000´down.
Windshear will and has killed.
Thats why we like to know and why we tell ATC when it happens.
