- Male voice (if within 3 miles)
- Says: "WINDSHEAR AHEAD" on PFD and voice (if within 3 miles)
- Icon on ND, words on PFD (at "10:30") (if within 3 miles)

"Go around, Flaps 28..."
- May need to turn immediately
- (suggest) Have PM ND on WX (to see 'silent icon')
- Not visible above 1,200' AGL (but may be there!)
- Advisory (3-5 miles) = Icon only - (What I call "The Silent Icon")
- Caution (< 3 miles) = Icon + voice: "Monitor radar display"
- Warning T/O (< 3 miles within 1/4 mile of C/L) = Icon + voice: "Windshear Ahead!"
- Warning Landing (< 1 1/2 miles within 1/4 mile of C/L) = Icon + voice: "Go Around Windshear Ahead!"
