What statement must be included in the ATIS following a report of indication of wind shear?

• A. WIND SHEAR WARNING IN EFFECT
• B. "LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR ADVISORIES IN EFFECT"
• C. WIND SHEAR ADVISORIES EN ROUTE
• D. WIND SHIFTS DETECTED

Answer: (B)

When wind shear is reported, the ATIS needs to broadcast the specific, standardized notice that low-level wind shear advisories are in effect. This exact phrase communicates to pilots that there are current LLWAS advisories at low altitude in the terminal area, which can affect approaches and departures, so they can plan accordingly.

This wording is used because it conveys the appropriate level of detail and urgency for pilots at the airport. The other options imply different or more urgent conditions, refer to en route scenarios, or use nonstandard phrasing, none of which matches the standard ATIS update for a wind-shear indication at a field.
