Path is higher, IAS decreases

After take-off an aeroplane gets into a wind shear with decreasing headwind. As a result...

the aeroplane flies above the estimated climb path.

the aeroplane flies below the estimated climb path.

the ground speed (GS) will decrease.

the true airspeed (TAS) will increase.

How can a wind shear encounter in flight be avoided?

Avoid areas of precipitation, particularly during winter, and choose low flight altitudes

Avoid take-off and landing during the passage of heavy showers or thunderstorms

Avoid take-offs and landings in mountainous terrain and stay in flat country whenever possible

Avoid thermally active areas, particularly during summer, or stay below these areas

Immediately after lift-off, a microburst is entered inadvertently. Which action might avoid an unintentional descent?

Set maximum power, retract landing gear and flaps, increase pitch until attaining optimum climb speed

Set maximum power, maintain present aircraft configuration, climb at the best rate of climb speed

Set maximum power, maintain present aircraft configuration, pick up speed in an attempt to leave the area of the microburst as fast as possible

Set maximum power, retract landing gear and flaps, pick up speed and perform a left or a right turn in an attempt to leave the area of the microburst on the shortest way
