The Analysis of National Transportation Safety Board Large Fixed-Wing Aircraft Accident/Incident Reports for the Potential Presence of Low-Level Wind Shear.
Abstract
The National Transportation Safety Board aircraft accident/incident data base covering the years 1964 through 1975 was screened to select those accidents involving aircraft of 12,500 pounds gross weight or greater in which the potential of low-level wind shear as a factor could not be discounted. The successive filtering techniques employed eliminated all but 25 of the 59,465 accidents or incidents which comprised the total data base used. The presence of a low-level wind shear was a distinct possibility in these 25 takeoff or approach and landing accidents/incidents. (Author)
