Wind shear safety performance tool

An apparatus that overcomes 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 apparatus comprising:

• a configuration identifier that receives information associated with at least one of:
• a takeoff, and a landing, to be performed by the aircraft;
• and
• an indication of a wind shear condition during the at least one of:
• the takeoff, and the landing, and
• activates a wind shear option in the configuration identifier that identifies, responsive to receiving the indication that the wind shear may be present during the at least one of:
• the takeoff, and the landing;
• guidance for operating the aircraft with the wind shear condition, the guidance for operating the aircraft being customized for the condition;
• and
• a recommended configuration for the aircraft to perform the at least one:
• of the takeoff, and the landing, in the wind shear using the information associated with the at least one of:
• the takeoff, and the landing, to be performed by the aircraft;
• and rules for operating the aircraft in wind shear conditions such that the recommended configuration comprises a recommended:
• speed, configuration of a flap, and configuration of the operation of an engine;
• and
• provides the recommended configuration to an electronic checklist;
• and
• a display device for:
• presenting, visible to the flight crew, the indication of the wind shear condition;
• presenting in a textual format, visible to the flight crew, the guidance for operating the aircraft with the wind shear condition;
• and
• after the configuration identifier receives an acknowledgement, of a presentation of the guidance, from a flight crew interface, presenting, visible to the flight crew, the recommended configuration for the aircraft to perform the at least one of:
• the takeoff, and the landing, in the wind shear.

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:

• storing, in a storage device, rules for the aircraft performing the operation in the condition, and selecting the operation from the group consisting of:
• taking off, climbing, flying level, and landing, in the condition;
• receiving at a ground administration tool:
• information associated with the aircraft performing at least one of taking off, climbing, flying level, descending, and landing;
• and
• an indication that the wind shear may be present during the aircraft performing the at least one of the taking off, the climbing, the flying level, the descending, and the landing;
• retrieving from the storage device, using the ground administration tool, responsive to receiving the indication that the wind shear may be present during the aircraft performing the at least one of the taking off, the climbing, the flying level, the descending, and the landing, the rules for the aircraft to perform the operation in the condition;
• activating, using the ground administration tool, a wind shear option in an aircraft configuration tool onboard the aircraft, the aircraft configuration tool comprising a configuration identifier that generates;
• a recommended configuration comprising a recommended:
• speed, configuration of a flap, and configuration of the operation of an engine, for the aircraft performing the operation in the condition using the information associated with the aircraft performing the at least one of the taking off, the climbing, the flying level, the descending, and the landing and the rules for the aircraft to perform the operation in the condition;
• and
• guidance for operating the aircraft, performing an operation indicated by an operation identification, in the wind shear, such that the guidance for operating the aircraft is customized for the condition;
• providing the recommended configuration to an electronic checklist;
• and
• presenting, on a display device visible to the flight crew,
• in a textual format, the guidance for operating the aircraft, performing the operation indicated by the operation identification, in the wind shear
• the indication that the wind shear may be present during the aircraft performing the at least one of the taking off, the climbing, the flying level, the descending, and the landing;
• and
• withholding presenting the recommended configuration until receiving an acknowledgment, of displaying the guidance, from a flight crew interface;
• and
• presenting, after receiving the acknowledgment of presenting the guidance for operating the aircraft, performing the operation indicated by the operation identification, in the wind shear, the recommended configuration for the aircraft performing the operation in the condition.
