Airborne wind shear detection and alert system
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Airborne_wind_shear_detection_and_alert_system
The airborne wind shear detection and alert system, fitted in an aircraft, detects and alerts the pilot both visually and aurally of a wind shear condition. A reactive wind shear detection system is activated by the aircraft flying into an area with a wind shear condition of sufficient force to pose a hazard to the aircraft. A predictive wind shear detection system is activated by the presence of a wind shear condition ahead of the aircraft. In 1988, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandated that all turbine-powered commercial aircraft must have on-board wind shear detection systems by 1993. Airlines successfully lobbied to have commercial turbo-prop aircraft exempted from this requirement.

Airlines successfully lobbied to have commercial turbo-prop aircraft exempted from this requirement. In the predictive wind shear detection mode, the weather radar processor of the aircraft detects the presence of a microburst, a type of vertical wind shear condition, by detecting the Doppler frequency shift of the microwave pulses caused by the microburst ahead of the aircraft, and displays the area where it is present in the Navigation Display Unit (of the Electronic Flight Instrument System) along with an aural warning.
