Narrative:

Just prior to landing flare, experienced wind shear requiring rejected landing. Approach was being hand flown, autothrust was engaged. Aircraft type A320. Aircraft contacted runway surface during reject. No damage to aircraft but we did experience a brake system/fault and #2 rmp failure. The next approach/landing was uneventful. We reported wind shear to tower after the go around and 1 min later another aircraft landing reported the shear. Autothrust did not increase at all during the shear. It would have been better to have been manually flying the thrust also during these gusty conditions (wind 300 degrees 16 KTS gusts 26 KTS).

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: WIND SHEAR ON LNDG WITH GAR.

Narrative: JUST PRIOR TO LNDG FLARE, EXPERIENCED WIND SHEAR REQUIRING REJECTED LNDG. APCH WAS BEING HAND FLOWN, AUTOTHRUST WAS ENGAGED. ACFT TYPE A320. ACFT CONTACTED RWY SURFACE DURING REJECT. NO DAMAGE TO ACFT BUT WE DID EXPERIENCE A BRAKE SYS/FAULT AND #2 RMP FAILURE. THE NEXT APCH/LNDG WAS UNEVENTFUL. WE RPTED WIND SHEAR TO TWR AFTER THE GAR AND 1 MIN LATER ANOTHER ACFT LNDG RPTED THE SHEAR. AUTOTHRUST DID NOT INCREASE AT ALL DURING THE SHEAR. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO HAVE BEEN MANUALLY FLYING THE THRUST ALSO DURING THESE GUSTY CONDITIONS (WIND 300 DEGS 16 KTS GUSTS 26 KTS).
