AVionics Aircraft

How can an aircraft detect windshear and microbursts ?
Iv always wondered how can an aircraft do that , and input the signal to the EGPWS to get it to alert for windshear , i checked my school notes but nothing is mentioned about it in my notes alas .
Im an aircrafts maintanance engineering apprentice ( avionics ) by the way so i'd like to get a fully explained technical answer to satisify my question .
Thanks in advance
Essentially, there are two ways to detect windshear/microbursts using on-board systems.
PREDICTIVE: This is a part of the weather radar system that uses doppler to detect disturbed air. It is operational, even with the radar selected off, whenever the airplane is in the air below 2350 feet, when the radar is selected on, or on the ground with the power set to TO.
REACTIVE: This is part of the EGPWS which uses inputs from the Angle of Attack system, the ADIRUs, and the and Air Data Modules to detect uncommanded acceleration, and report windshear. This system uses different thresholds depending on the radio altitude, flap position, and phase of flight (approach or landing).
These are for the B756 and are similar, as I recall, for the B737, but may differ for other manufacturers and models. My airline installs both, but I have been led to believe that some airlines opt for one or the other.
Wiki gives a pretty good explanation.

A Distributed Platform for Integrated Modular Avionics $172.06 Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA), Distributed IMA (DIMA), and Modular Certification are widely discussed approaches in the aerospace community at the moment. IMA deals with the idea of sharing hardware resources and integrating several aircraft functions into one hardware unit to reduce weight, space, cabling, power consumption and costs. DIMA architectures provide more flexibility to the used hardware by splitting it up into several smaller units, distributed all over the aircraft and connected by a safetycritical communication system. Modular Certification uses the modularity provided by those systems to split their certification into several parts, which reduces development time and effort. Based on these prerequisites, the concept of a distributed and integrated platform solution is introduced. It defines the constraints and services needed for implementing a modular certifiable and flexible platform, which is able to handle all safetycritical functions in an aircraft. This book discusses the platforms attributes and certification demands, identifies its requirements and constraints and considers its applications and business opportunities.

Used Aircraft Parts- Why Buy Used Aircraft Parts Instead Of New Parts
Used aircraft parts are available for all models of aircraft from your basic Piper Cub Cadet to your Cessna 172 and you can even find used aircraft parts that are suitable for kitplanes like the Van's RV-7 or the Lancair IV-P. When we talk about used aircraft parts we have to distinguish whether it is an airframe part, a used avionics or instrument, or used aircraft engine or part. Each area here is available but your application and your aircraft really determine the availability and price of each used aircraft part.
There are plenty of reasons that a person would choose used aircraft parts over new and I will lay a few of them out here. But first, why are there used aircraft parts that are in good condition around in the first place. Just like the auto industry, the aircraft industry has planes that for one reason or another are considered totaled by the insurance company and need to be discarded and dismantled. That being the case, often times there are still good parts on the plane that were unaffected by the damage that caused the plane to be classified as a totaled plane.
When things like hail storms take place and the entire flight surface of an aircraft becomes potted with dings- the aircraft may be deemed to not be airworthy. That doesn't mean that the engine, avionics, interior and landing gears are damaged- in fact- they may be perfect for your plane. The nice thing is that they now carry a significant discount because they are used- which brings us to the main reason to purchase used aircraft parts- To Save Money!!
When considering the significant expenditure that aircraft ownership and maintenance requires, it is only reasonable to try to reduce the costs any way you can without sacrificing quality. This allows you to put more into the things that you really want to upgrade like an all glass cockpit or a new interior without spending more than you initially had budgeted.
Often times people will go with a used engine rather than an overhaul because of your ability to trade in your high time engine for a used low or mid time engine at a significant savings over new. Often times the savings is upwards of $10,000.
For those of you who are building a kit plane or a homebuilt airplane- Used aircraft parts could allow you to make considerable upgrades in some areas while not increasing your initial expenditure or you could significantly decrease the overall project cost. Imagine saving $15,000 on your engine, and $7,500 on your instrument panel. That is a lot of gas money!
In conclusion, used aircraft parts are a great idea for anyone who doesn't like throwing money away. Buy used aircraft parts for your plane and you will see the difference in price without a difference in quality.
