When wind shear is detected, which indicators are activated on LLWAS?

Explanation:
LLWAS detects wind shear by comparing wind measurements from multiple sensors and, when a hazardous condition is identified, it issues warnings to ensure teams notice quickly. The indicators activated are both visual and auditory alerts. A visual cue appears on the LLWAS display, often with a banner or icon, and an audible warning sounds to grab attention in buzzing cockpit or tower environments. Using two channels helps ensure the warning isn’t missed in a noisy cockpit or control room and supports a rapid, coordinated response.
