Windshear & Avoidance Maneuvers

General Subjects

6 modules

2 hours 35 min

Wind shear should be bypassed to avoid turbulence that is tricky to deal with, although the sudden nature of wind means evading is not always an option. Scandlearn brings a Windshear and Upset Recovery course with in-depth advice on avoidance and handling.

Wind shear and turbulence can be unexpected and unpredictable. Handling wind shear can be complex, and it requires knowledge and experience. This course will teach pilots turbulence avoidance and tell them how to manoeuvre an aircraft through wind shear safely. Real traffic events are incorporated as operational examples, but further traffic avoidance training should be taken in the flight simulator.

Topics Included
  • Wind shear definition and classifications
  • The potential danger of wind shear
  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  • Autopilot
  • Low-Level Wind Shear Alert System (LLWAS)
  • Aircraft response to turbulence
  • Pilot briefings Pilot Reports (PIREPs)
