<p>A wind shear warning system (10) monitors the flight path of an aircraft and wind shear (16) in the vicinity of the aircraft and generates an advisory or cautionary message (34) for the pilot based both on the magnitude (20, 22) of the wind shear and the flight path of the aircraft. When the aircraft is flying a normal flight path, a wind shear warning is generated only when relatively high negative wind shears are present. If the flight path of the aircraft is not normal, for example, if the aircraft is below the glide slope (18) or descending too rapidly (14), a cautionary alert is given at lower values of wind shear. The alert or warning (54) is selected to provide the pilot with information defining the nature of the hazard or potential hazard being encoutered.</p> |
