WINDSHEAR INDICATIONS

The following are indications the airplane is encountering a windshear:

* Unacceptable flight path deviations; recognized as uncontrolled changes from normal steady state
flight conditions below 1.000 ft AGL, in excess of any of the following:

- 15 Kts indicated airspeed - 500FPMverticalspeed - 5 pitch attitude - 1 dot displacement from


the glideslope - Unussual thrust lever position for a significant period of time

* Windshear immediate - Alert warning (two-tone siren followed by WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR,
