During a wind shear warning, you should increase pitch up to the Pitch Limit Marker (alpha-margin indicator).

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Increase further
• D. Decrease

Answer: (B)

In wind shear situations, the priority is to stabilize the airplane and recover safe airspeed, not to push the nose toward the maximum pitch boundary. The Pitch Limit Marker, or alpha-margin indicator, marks how close you are to stall. During wind shear, conditions can change rapidly, so aiming for that limit is risky because you could reach stall or lose control as the shear evolves. The proper response is to apply full or maximum thrust and adjust pitch to regain and maintain a safe airspeed, keeping the airframe out of the high angle-of-attack region while the shear passes. So, you should not increase pitch up to the Pitch Limit Marker.
