Abstract:
1. A method for overcoming a lack of awareness and inaccurate response to a condition indicating a potential for a wind shear, by a flight crew in an aircraft, prior to a takeoff of the aircraft near an area comprising the condition indicating the potential for the wind shear, the method comprising: specifically programming a ground administration tool for determining the condition indicating the potential for the wind shear near the area and customizing: a thrust setting, a flap setting, a runway selection and a takeoff rotation speed, tailored for addressing the condition; receiving, by the ground administration tool, information associated with the takeoff to be performed by the aircraft; receiving, by the ground administration tool, an indication comprising the potential for the condition near the area during the takeoff; and responsive to receiving the indication, the ground administration tool activating a wind shear option in an aircraft configuration tool onboard the aircraft, the aircraft configuration tool comprising a configuration identifier that generates; providing the recommended configuration to an aircraft system; displaying, in a textual format, the guidance on a display device visible to the flight crew; withholding displaying the recommended configuration on the display visible to the flight crew until receiving an acknowledgment, of displaying the guidance, from a flight crew interface; and displaying the recommended configuration after receiving the acknowledgment of displaying the guidance.
