Abstract
A system of airplane instrumentation utilizing devices and procedures for dealing with wind shear on the final approach to a landing. The system is designed for use in a like manner on all approaches for landing to assure that a safe, stable speed be used during all landing approaches, and that the Pilot be apprised of the conditions his airplane is flying through at all times during the approach. The primary aim is to provide instrumentation which will aid the Pilot in achieving safe approach criteria, give him information on which to base his judgment, and eliminate accidents on the final approach due to wind shear.
