What technique helps manage the risk of wind shear on approach?

• A.Steep approaches eliminate wind shear risk — use a 5° glidepath
• B.Fly the approach as slowly as possible to reduce energy and stabilise on glidepath
• C.Wind shear only affects IFR approaches — VFR pilots are not affected
• D.Use a slightly higher approach speed than normal to provide an airspeed buffer
