During a wind shear warning, increasing pitch up to the Pitch Limit Marker is recommended.

During a wind shear warning, increasing pitch up to the Pitch Limit Marker is recommended.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if autopilot is engaged
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

During wind shear recovery, the priority is to restore airspeed quickly and safely, not to push the airplane toward a fixed pitch limit. The Pitch Limit Marker marks a maximum safe pitch to avoid a stall, but during wind shear you should manage energy by applying thrust and using a flight-path attitude that helps accelerate back to safe airspeed. Pushing the nose up toward that marker can worsen the loss of airspeed and stall risk, especially when gusts are changing the energy state of the aircraft. Autopilot status isn’t the defining factor here—you follow the recovery technique that emphasizes gaining speed, not climbing to a maximum pitch. So the statement is not correct.
