Is WIND SHEAR the greatest weather hazard to aviation? You be the judge!

Wind shear is a common weather phenomenon, occurring at any level where adjacent layers or columns of air have different velocities. It can produce sudden changes in aircraft airspeed and lift. We hope you will enjoy this simplified explanation.

Could you explain that you memtioned at 1.10 min… you tell that reducing headwind results in reducing airspeed..As I tried to change headwind in my simulator, I see that only changes occurred at Ground speed and TAS and IAS stayed same ? Thank you in advance

Good question. Wind shear is a sudden change in wind velocity close to the aeroplane that has an immediate impact on its performance. Simulator wind settings you changed are likely global for a larger section of the atmosphere.

use the rule of extreme thinking.... Let's say your flying at 100 knots INDICATED in no wind. All of a sudden you are flying into a parcel of air that has a 100 knot TAIL-wind. Your forward airspeed would then match the tail-wind for a moment and your indicated airspeed would be zero - you would fall out of the sky until such time your momentum and thrust start to produce lift again.

The animation does not clearly show that an airplane can only experience wind shear at the moment it flies from one airmass into another one. INSIDE an airmass the airplane does not experience headwind, tailwind or crosswind.

@SnipeD312 2 жыл бұрын

You couldnt be more incorrect. Windshear can be encountered in many different ways, not simply due to frontal lift. When on final/takeoff, you can experience windshear for many reasons. (Thunderstorms, Fast moving air due to advection, mechanical windshear due to localized terrain/buildings..)All of these happen INSIDE an air mass.

@richardweldon2062 Жыл бұрын

Planes are always inside an airmass of some form or other. The weather conditions are always likely to change, even on calm days. The whole lesson about windshear is that wind can change direction/intensity at anytime during flight and for a pilot to always be aware of its presence, especially on longer flights across country.
