Boeing 747 WINDSHEAR RECOVERY

Hello everyone, how do you do.
A week ago, saw several Go-atopnds In Hong Kong due to WINDSHEAR as a result of a passing typhoon. I thought It a good Idea to show you the oresentation on the B747.
In this clip, I show you two different windshear recovery methods on the B747. The first part is recovery in response to REACTIVE WINDSHEAR- this means the aircraft just enters a WINDSHEAR zone without prior warning on approach. Pilots are always aware of the signs of possible WINDSHEAR if there are thunderstorms in the area close to an airport for approach and departure. Sudden wind change/unusually high thrust on approach just to hold the Glideslope or thrust at idle while speed continues to increase on approach are good examples. The second part is of the Predictive WINDSHEAR recovery where the system alerts of possible WINDSHEAR ahead of the aircraft. For predictive WINDSHEAR, the recovery is usually a normal go around and avoiding the indicated windshear area on the map display. Have a watch and I hope you like it…’Chi Di Gin! Later!✈️✈️✈️

    Im guessing theres no prediction to how low your speed will be when u come out of the headwind, so going around is the only safe option. Watching that speed guage drop seems so terrifying.

    You ever been outside in a windstorm and suddenly out of nowhere the wind changes direction two or three times nearly blowing you over in three different directions? That's a semi-accurate representation of what windshear is like for an airplane. Imagine trying to drive a car down a road but every so often the road suddenly moves 5 feet to the right or left while you are driving on it, except in a plane if the wind changes from a strong headwind to a strong tailwind at the wrong moment (right before landing being one of them) it could cause the wings to stall which is not something you ever want to happen near the ground hence why when you are caught in windshear you go full power and climb without worrying about bring flaps and gear up.

    @@ryan__nz In climb out emergencies whether it be a go around or terrain avoidance or to get out of a stall close to the ground. Changing configurations in this very sensitive time could completely stall the aircraft. If you throw out more flaps for example you will increase lift but you will also drasticly increase drag. You dont put the gear up till you are at a safe climbing speed because 99% of planes will open more landing gear doors to make room for the folding gear which will again increase your drag at the worst moment. Climbout procedures are full power both hands on the yoke and keep it in the air till everything is stabilized then worry about configuring the airplane.

    Oh that’s because the aircraft increases the descent rate to maintain the g/slope-that’s the point of the shear-unusual.

    In a reactive windshear situation (actually in windshear) you freeze the ac configuration as changing it could cause drag and induce a stall. Once stabilised you can then reconfigure. In the second scenario where you are predicting windshear you aren’t in windshear yet so you can configure the ac however you do need to be on the ball in case you enter windshear during reconfiguration in which case it changes to scenario 1 and the reconfiguration freezes.

    But you do know that there's a way of landing in windsheer. You apply maximum power and 5°-'10° pitch down on the column while ready to take any evasive actions. This way you can even land halfway down the runway and apply maximum brakes and thrust reverse. One can also do slight up and down motions to confuse the wind. I think my suggestions are a better idea than wasting all that fuel going around 😀.
