The control of an aircraft flying through a downburst is formulated as a dynamic optimization problem with a minimum altitude constraint and two different performance measures. Take-off flight is mainly considered while landing flight is discussed. Paths are determined through windshears and downdrafts that (1) maximize a combination of airspeed and altitude just after penetration and (2) minimize deviation from the intended flight path. (1) may be thought of as a "survival" measure and (2) as a "performancemaintaining" measure. For mild to moderate downbursts, the performance strategy maintains altitude at the expense of airspeed loss, while the survival strategy descends the aircraft to the minimum altitude to obtain more airspeed. For a severe downburst, the two op timal paths are similar, spending most of the time at the minimum altitude. In other words, the aircraft has to descend in a severe downburst to survive. Since the intensity of a downburst is difficult to assess, we recommend use of the survival flight path strategy when the pilot believes that he has entered a downburst. This strategy involves immediate application of maximum thrust, along with rapid descent
