Narrative:

On visual approach to runway 22L we received a windshear warning (go around windshear). We were at 50 ft AGL when we received the warning. I told the copilot to continue the landing since we were just about to touch down and he was in the flaring transition. The WX conditions were clam winds; clear skies; temperature in the 70's. There was no probability of windshear. ATC did advise us at 1500 ft AGL that there would be 3 departures before our arrival. The last aircraft departed when we were at 300 ft AGL. It didn't seem logical to go around when we were just about to touch down.

Narrative: ON VISUAL APCH TO RWY 22L WE RECEIVED A WINDSHEAR WARNING (GAR WINDSHEAR). WE WERE AT 50 FT AGL WHEN WE RECEIVED THE WARNING. I TOLD THE COPLT TO CONTINUE THE LNDG SINCE WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO TOUCH DOWN AND HE WAS IN THE FLARING TRANSITION. THE WX CONDITIONS WERE CLAM WINDS; CLR SKIES; TEMP IN THE 70'S. THERE WAS NO PROBABILITY OF WINDSHEAR. ATC DID ADVISE US AT 1500 FT AGL THAT THERE WOULD BE 3 DEPS BEFORE OUR ARR. THE LAST ACFT DEPARTED WHEN WE WERE AT 300 FT AGL.
