Windshear SIM Scenarios

NOTE

This is a stub page. Content to be expanded with specific SIM scenario notes.

Overview

Windshear scenarios encountered in B777 simulator training, including escape maneuver practice, recognition cues, and common errors.

RQ 3 Windshear Scenario

  • Phase: Crosswind takeoff, windshear encounter after rotation
  • Response: Escape maneuver — “WINDSHEAR TOGA”, max thrust, pitch 15°
  • Common error: Attempting to recover airspeed instead of maintaining pitch

Key Training Points

  • Recognize windshear within 5 seconds
  • “Trade airspeed for altitude” — do NOT lower the nose to recover speed
  • Maintain wings level for maximum climb performance
  • Do NOT change gear/flap configuration during escape
