US Patent 8983687 Wind shear safety performance tool

A system and method for identifying a recommended configuration for operating an aircraft in wind shear conditions. A processor unit receives information associated with an operation to be performed by the aircraft. The processor unit receives an indication that wind shear may be present during the operation. Responsive to receiving the indication that the wind shear may be present during the operation, the processor unit identifies the recommended configuration for the aircraft to perform the operation using the information associated with the operation to be performed by the aircraft and rules for operating the aircraft in the wind shear conditions.
