Drag Stability Wind Shear 
Fear of Landing
MARCH 22, 2024
Airborne Wind Shear Detection During the 1980s and 1990s, NASA led a comprehensive research program to identify the characteristics of dangerous wind shear and validated technologies that can predict its severity while in flight. Winglets help increase an aircraft’s range and decrease fuel consumption.

Top Reasons for Go-Arounds Unstabilized Approach An aircraft must have a stabilized approach before landing. An approach is stabilized when: The aircraft is on the correct flight path, i.e., on runway centerline and glideslope. Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts.
