The wind shear escape guidance from the flight director is guaranteed during wind shear caution.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only during warning
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (B)

Wind shear escape guidance is designed to help you recover when a wind shear event is detected, but it’s not guaranteed during a caution. The flight director’s explicit escape guidance is typically issued when a wind shear warning is present, indicating a confirmed hazardous condition. A wind shear caution signals potential wind shear but not a guaranteed event, so the system does not promise or always provide a full escape cue in that state. In caution, you should stay alert, follow established procedures, and be prepared to apply the manual recovery actions as needed, rather than counting on automatic or flight-director guidance being shown.
