Vilas,
Exactly.
We train pilots to follow the FD religiously. In only rare instances do we teach them to disregard FD commands. When sheite hits the fan, you get into a full blown windshear event, the FD in SRS is giving you good info - you follow it. When you reach ACC ALT as programmed in the box, it now gives you bad info - now you are to disregard it - that is asking a lot if a normal line pilot to absorb and respond correctly to in an incredibly stressful and dangerous environment.
Vilas, do you have an Airbus publication reference for setting 1500' ACC ALT as a precautionary windshear procedure? TIA
