The Wind Shear Warning System prevents the airplane
from crashing due to an encounter with wind shear. The system employs such information
as changes in aircraft speed to detect the aircraft encountering wind shear, and
then issues a verbal warning. A forward-looking wind shear warning system, which
has recently become viable, uses radar in the forward direction to detect wind
sheer before the airplane actually encounters it, and issues a verbal and visual
warning.
All ANA aircraft have the conventional wind shear warning system, and we are endeavoring
to become a forerunner in Japan and increase the number of planes equipped with
forward-looking wind shear warning systems. |
