What is the recommended action after exiting windshear?

• A. Smoothly recover normal climb
• B. Maintain current attitude
• C. Descend to maintain airspeed
• D. Increase thrust to TOGA

Answer: (A)

Exiting windshear, the priority is to reestablish a stable flight path by smoothly returning to a normal climb. Wind shear can cause a sudden drop in airspeed and altitude, so once the disturbance passes you want to reestablish a safe energy state without abrupt control actions. Gently ease into the pitch that allows airspeed to recover to a safe value while maintaining coordinated thrust, then begin the climb and return to the planned flight path. The goal is a controlled, gradual recovery rather than rushing to a specific attitude or making drastic inputs. Maintaining the current attitude wouldn’t guarantee airspeed recovery or a proper climb, and descending to gain airspeed can waste energy and worsen the situation. While you may need appropriate thrust to support the recovery, the essential action after exiting windshear is to smoothly reestablish a normal climb and stabilize the aircraft.
