EASA: Wind Shear Rules Should Stay As Is
ICAO had recommended that all turbine airplanes in excess of 12,500 pounds mtow be equipped with a wind shear warning system.

Despite an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommendation for wind shear warning systems on larger aircraft, the European Aviation Safety Agency has decided against mandating the systems. EASA this month released a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) that concludes, based on a cost-safety-benefit assessment, “no regulatory action is needed to require wind shear equipment on European-registered aircraft.”
