Full description provided by RAL: Low Level Wind Shear Film Mod A Tinsley #11 – 16 mm film in brown case #FA-03-78 JAWS Wind Shear Film Master Tape 8. Cockpit/ Simulator footage for low-level wind shear. Film footage has faded. Most of it is pink. Thunderstorms, frontal zones & low-level jets are varieties of wind shear. Similar footage to wind shear – a technical report film. NASA Ames flight simulation, pilot briefing helped. Flight director system and ground speed vs. air speed improved successful approaches. Pilot data was collected during the simulation. Collecting ground speed wind in additional locations around the runways. If the combined wind speeds exceed a certain threshold, it would trigger an alert in the air traffic control tower. 12:35 film skips. Doppler laser effect dome to detect wind speeds. Data collection on special airplane.
