Yes -- windshear will appear as a sudden decrease (or increase) in airspeed, which manifests itself as reduced (sometimes to negative) ROC. It takes thrust to overcome a windshear. 2. And does windshear show up as a distinct feature in the flight weather radar? No -- radar detects only precipitation or other, solid, objects. A link to any site that explains the mechanics of a windshear would be welcome. Ramapriya |
