The flight director will provide wind shear escape guidance during both a wind shear caution and a wind shear warning from the EGPWS system.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only during caution
• D. Only during warning

Answer: (B)

Wind shear escape guidance from EGPWS is an urgent cue designed to help you recover from a hazardous wind shear event. A wind shear warning indicates an imminent threat and triggers explicit flight director commands to take corrective action, such as initial pitch changes or go-around maneuvers. A wind shear caution, on the other hand, is an advisory alert that shear may be present but is not yet an immediate danger, so the system does not automatically issue the same escape guidance.

Therefore, the flight director’s wind shear escape guidance is not provided for both levels. It is associated with a wind shear warning, not the caution level, which makes the statement false. In practice, you would expect the escape guidance during a warning to help you avoid a loss of performance or control, while a caution would rely more on monitoring and manual adjustments.
