Windshear Level Off
Hi
Missed Approach Altitude is 2200ft. Your still in wind shear at Alt Acquire and you cant get further climb from ATC.
Have you just broken the procedure by;
1) Not climbing with TOGA guidance or 15degrees
2) Reducing the thrust from max to avoid exceeding Vfe and Vne
Thoughts?
Did Boeing consider this or are there no Missed Approach Altitudes below 2300ft in the world?
Thanks

If I'm in a windshear situation, the last thing I'm worried about is ATC clearance.
Maintain present attitude, wind up the MCP altitude, press TOGA again, which will reset FD windshear guidance. Once out of the shear, reset MCP to missed approach altitude, and inform ATC.

Congratulations, you made it to the missed approach altitude! That means you had excess power to outclimb the wind shear - so clean up, speed up and give yourself more energy. Why make it harder than it needs to be?
