Windshear training MD80

Small clip of windshear training in an MD80 simulator in Miami, FL. Pitch to 15°, maintain configuration, if descent continues pull all the way to the stick shaker and firewall the engines.

Are you trying to be a MD-80 pilot? for a airline

[xkoote]

@heil08 That was part of recurrent training for an airline.

@nic777morrey After you select gear up, there will be quite a few precious seconds when (at the most critical time) you are creating even more drag. The grear doors will swing open, the wheel wells will be exposed to the slipstream etc etc. If you look at the cycle time for gear operation of most big jets you'll notice that they take quite long.

What was your a/c weight and min. clean speed for your flight?

[pawelo81]

@xkoote Also CG will change.

[thomsonfly645k]

was the last noise at 1.03 the stabilizer in motion warning buzzer?

[Flydanville]

I heard the outer marker! Must not be at KDAN......

Sad that I was refused a flight school. True story.

Flap configuration change is obviously a concern of causing the chord line to reach critical AOA when roll control with aileron input is going to be heavily used. Stall, spin, end of story. Any pilot knows this and with jets its a matter of riding the stick shaker with the throttles firewalled until the trend changes. I have experienced wind shear many times going into PHX in REAL LIFE, not a sim. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

@bakadavid

I see the video, but I see nothing in the video that shows an adverse aerodynamic effect of increased parasite drag. I am even more inclined to stick with my own logic and observations after I have recently verified everything I previously said with a CAPTAIN on the DC-9. (MD-80 is the stretch-model of this aircraft) He confirmed the delay of configuration change with respect to the landing gear is based on time, priority, and stability.
