The pilots fought to recover, but the wind shear was too strong. Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. It is the most severe type of wind shear.

Moderate wind shear in some areas could make some thermals somewhat difficult to work but that, too, is typical. ” Unlike tornadoes and other twisters, microbursts are straight-line winds. You can readily see that the greatest wind speed differential, i.e. the greatest wind-shear is at altitudes below 0.2

The incident occurred while the crew was conducting a low-visibility approach through dense fog. During the final approach, the pilot reduced engine throttles to manage airspeed and align with the Instrument Landing System glideslope.

As the plane descends toward the runway on final approach, it may encounter various scenarios where a safe landing cannot be assured. As soon as the pilot realizes this, they must abort the landing and climb back to traffic pattern altitude and attempt the approach and landing again.

A go-around is a maneuver performed to abort or reject a landing on the final approach or once the aircraft has already touched down. Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. When an aircraft encounters horizontal wind shear, it could be blown off centerline.

During final approach at Orly Airport, the crew received a wind-shear warning, prompting them to go around and discontinue with the landing. Conversely, subtle incapacitation is partial and often lasts for short periods, but posing a greater risk as it’s harder to detect.

It could be that theres sudden wind shear on final approach, or that that visibility is below minimums, or that the aircraft is too high or too fast, etc. Generally speaking, go arounds happen for one of several reasons. As Will mentions, sometimes go arounds happen due to weather or other flying conditions.

Approach speeds typically range from 80 to 90 knots depending on weight and flap settings, while full flaps are often used to provide the necessary lift during landing. The aircrafts landing gear is retractable, which must be extended during the final approach. The final approach is a delicate balance of power, pitch, and speed.
