Wind Shear Studies and Cockpit Integration

Starting with a brief review of the history of wind shear related accidents and incidents over the last 20 years, the pilot view of the wind shear encounter from the cockpit will be presented. With this view as the basis, the human factors aspect of the wind shear encounter will be discussed. Based on this insight, cockpit systems development to aid the crew in an inadvertant wind shear encounter will be reviewed.
