222 - ATPL Question Bank in English - On final approach, with windshear reported, indicated airspeed rises rapidly without a change in thrust or attitude. Which response best follows windshear safety principles?

Question 222 - Operational Procedures - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot Licence

Take a level flight attitude to reduce speed, then come back to glide path from above.

Reduce rapidly the selected thrust, maintain on the glide path.

Reduce rapidly the selected thrust in order to reach 1.2 Vs and try a precision landing.

Recognise possible windshear, avoid chasing the transient airspeed with abrupt thrust reductions, and apply the approved go-around or escape procedure when indicated rather than forcing a landing.
