摘要：	A severe microburst occurred on 2 July 1994 at Charlotte, NC, and was associated with the crash of USAir Flight 1016 (FL-1016) (Salottolo 1994; Phillips 1994). The inbound DC-9 unexpectedly encountered a rapidly intensifying rainshaft just seconds before it was to touchdown on runway 18R. The aircraft crashed after encountering strong windshear, killing 37 of the 57 souls on board. The pilots did not recognize the windshear condition in time to prevent the accident and received no warning from the aircraft's Honeywell in-situ windshear detection system or from ground-based systems (Charlotte maintains both an ASR-9 weather radar and a Phase-2 LLWAS). Also two other aircraft landed ahead of FL-1016 without incident and reported smooth approaches to 18R. Section-2 of this paper reports briefly on the reconstruction of the event based on numerical results generated by the Terminal Area Simulation System (TASS) as presented at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) public hearing (Proctor 1994). Section-3 discusses the simulation of this event with a look-ahead windshear radar.
