Crosswind limit under review. Good idea??

Funchal Accidents
For windshear it's toga follow SRS unless no FD then you go to 17.5. Full backstick is for terrain escape because you want to use all your kinetic energy to gain potential energy (altitude) even if on the 'long' term it's not the most efficient since you will ,if needed, decrease the speed until Valphamax which is definitely not the best roc speed.
But yeah could still be a windshear escape.

Aaaaaah the AE memories. Went in there with the 73. Very marginal and the company was evaluating 757 ops. Route & Airfield bod reckoned it wasn't safe and refused to sign off.He had the underslung gear to resign the post. Replacee signed the place off and in went the 75's.
I had just transferred to 75, yet to be checked out for Funchal and not looking forward to it when one of our much admired aces pranged.
.
Bilbao in the T1E was bad enough. Started going grey at age 27, Funchal saw me totally white at 35. White enough to apply to CX !....ooooops, another story........

A Base turn that required both pilots seeing and pointing towards a bannana shed before Finals made Kai Tak a walk in the park !
The thread is about wizz. Wish our old GA was as easy as "Toga, stick FULLY back". But us trend setters were magnificent men in real flying machines !

And often thankful it was over Gordon!
Only half a speed-brake
Additional technical notes: (mostly) FCOM DSC-22_30-40-90-20
During a G/A the FD limits for SRS vertical mode are 18° or 22,5°in case of a wind shear alert. The target speed for which the airplane will pitch for becoming:
- no lower than Vapp (net of any GS-mini adjustments)
- no higher than Vls+25 kt
+ commonly in-between, set to the speed value present at the moment of TO/GA engagement
Pure speculation: If the crew hit a small rotor with a momentary tailwind burst (or loss of headwind) resulting in
- a drop of IAS close to the Vapp (net) value or even below
- trigger of reactive wind-shear alert
+ the FD command would go for quite a low-speed target up to 22,5 deg NU, which the NEO engines at TOGA thrust could deliver efficiently. With an airshow-like climb.
I still think the overpitch is some sort of camera effect, it looks unusual only for a half second before it is clear the airplane is flying over the viewpoint.

Told to me by an AE B737 pilot (sadly no longer with us) who had landed earlier and was parked alongside said B757. He took a wander over to have a look at this slightly odd looking company 757, and had the quote from the flight deck crew. Apparently!
Biggles; Huge holes in your submission right there.Bort, c'mon, quite funny if not involved and quite funny, for some, in typical aviation banter and humour.
After the GF A320 crash, crew-room banter in the Madras Crew room upset my F/O ( I was not there) who happened to be trialing for the Bahrain Olympic Weight Liftimg team. It didn't end well for the other Middle East Carrier's, Steward, Joker.
