Abstract
A process and system for the rapid detection of a wind gradient or change r an aircraft. Such a system provides for, on the one hand, the rapid detection of important or significant wind gradients or changes which can occur during the final phase of approach preceding the landing of the aircraft and, on the other hand, to inform the pilot or the automatic flight control system of the existence of this wind gradient sufficiently early to permit necessary corrective action to be taken.
