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

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if windspeed exceeds threshold
• D. Adjust via autopilot

Answer: (B)

During a wind shear warning, the priority is to preserve energy and avoid stalling. The Pitch Limit Marker shows how close you are to a stall at the current energy state. Pushing the nose up to that alpha-margin during wind shear can raise the angle of attack when airspeed is changing rapidly, increasing stall risk rather than aiding recovery. The safer approach is to maintain or smoothly increase airspeed with appropriate thrust, configure as required, and follow wind-shear recovery guidance with careful, gradual pitch changes rather than aiming for the limit. Autopilot is not the mechanism to drive toward the pitch limit in a wind-shear event; manual control and energy management are key. Therefore, the statement is not correct.
