What is the safety protocol if sudden wind shear is detected during approach?

The safety protocol for sudden wind shear detection during an approach involves monitoring closely and adjusting accordingly. Wind shear can cause rapid changes in airspeed and altitude, making it crucial for pilots to remain vigilant and responsive.

By closely monitoring the aircraft’s performance and adjusting to the changing conditions, pilots can better manage the effects of wind shear. This may involve varying the throttle, adjusting pitch, or making other necessary changes to maintain control of the aircraft and ensure a safe landing. The focus is on maintaining situational awareness and adapting to the real-time dynamics of the flight.

Changing flight paths to a higher altitude or trying to land immediately without careful adjustment may lead to further complications or loss of control. Continuing the approach at the same speed without acknowledging the altered conditions can be unsafe, as it does not account for the challenges posed by wind shear. Therefore, the most prudent approach is to continuously monitor the situation and make informed adjustments as needed.
