July 20, 201411 yr Wow guys, this was amazing! Just was on windshear-hunting again and I can tell you... Try my well-trusted ASN scenario (historical weather): April 30th 2014, KNPA25L T/O at 1108Z inbound KJKA to KJKA360/5 (abeam threshold RWY27). At 1113Z I got into the windshear. I was able to reproduce this scenario as the windshear appeared at (almost?) exact the same location. Perhaps you can make the same experience... At 1100ft AGL the windshear caught me, I let the situation "develop" for 15 seconds, disengaged the A/P and only at 550ft AGL I commanded TO/GA on A/T. At 200ft AGL the plane began to climb again. If I would have commanded TO/GA at the first PWS alert the "descend" would have been stopped at approx 700ft AGL. Take a look at the instruments: warnings, IAS (230, 260, 180 kts), ALT drop and the high ROD (-2900ft/min!) A lot of noise in the cockpit and I can highly recommend to experience this... Have a nice trip! B) BTW: sorry for the low res pics but I was flying in 3D-mode (nvidia-3d-vision-2) which is only 1280x720 on my PC and additionally photobucket resized them (?) to about 1024x576... Those who would like to have/see the 1280x720 pics, here is the link to the dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lmv2p4vks3dufkf/AAClaoFYmBcI6Hfp21lOJpPpa Claus KUEPPER
