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. Chevrons are being implemented on many of today’s aircraft, including the new Boeing 787.

You may have even seen a few YouTube videos of jets doing go-around maneuvers set to Kens song. Weather, hazardous conditions, wind, or a congested pattern can also add challenges to the approach making it more likely to be unstable. Remember the secret to a good landing is beginning with a good, stabilized approach!
