Which of the Predictive Windshear Alerts will not produce an aural alert?

• A. Advisory
• B. Warning
• C. Caution
• D. Critical

Answer: (A)

Predictive Windshear Alerts have different levels of urgency, and the audible alert behavior mirrors that urgency. The advisory level is informational only and appears on the display to indicate windshear could be present or is predicted, but it does not trigger any sound in the cockpit. In contrast, the higher levels—caution, warning, and critical—are designed to grab attention and will generate an aural alert to prompt the crew to take immediate action. So the one that will not produce an aural alert is the advisory, while the others will be heard as audible warnings.
