Does somebody know why there is not anymore Memory Items for Predictive Windshear alerts in FCOM?
Did I miss any revision changing explanation?

It seems to be a technique now because it's not so mandatory as reactive one. PWS warning permits the crew to decide perform actions or assess the alert as a spurious. Where Reactive must be performed unreservedly cause it based on AOA.

Within the FCTM taxonomy, 'memory items' are reserved for safety-critical immediate actions. I.e. worse than ECAM red warnings.

On the A320 the reactive wind shear warning is triggered from the FACs.

I believe it was removed by Airbus following a review of the French Bee A350 windshear event.
