What should be communicated if the windshear/microburst activity is likely and the specific runway wind display is inoperative?

When there is a possibility of windshear or microburst activity, and the specific runway wind display is inoperative, it is crucial to inform pilots that the wind shear and microburst information specifically associated with that runway is not available. This situation is critical because pilots rely on accurate wind information for safe approach and landing operations.

The inoperative wind display means that there is a gap in critical safety data that could impact flight operations. By communicating that the wind shear and microburst information for the runway is not available, air traffic control provides transparency and allows pilots to make informed decisions regarding their approach or landing strategy.

Ensuring that pilots are aware of the limitations in available wind information directly contributes to flight safety, as it emphasizes the need for heightened vigilance and possibly alternative approaches in light of the wind conditions that could affect their landing.
