Why won't you take care of it by converting speed into height because the higher altitude may take you out of wind shear itself. If it doesn't then when the trend arrow reverses again fly the FD again.
And once again the circle is complete as the conversation comes round to SCAN. This subject has been beaten to death o many other threads. Where do you monitor the relevant performance data during W/S? VSI, IAS & ALT. The FD will have IAS & then go into ALT ACQ---ALT HLD, perhaps depending on MCP window. Guys are taught, in W/S, to "fly the flight director". Initially this can be good, but then what? Converting speed to height, carefully watching for the reversal; seems OK. Then how do you know you are clear of W/S. There might have been a grating voice saying "windshear, windshear," but there isn't one to tell you "clear of windshear, clear." So you have to become a real plot again. OMG!
