Narrative:
On approach to lszh; we experienced continuous moderate turbulence. At 1500 ft AGL; the red windshear alert activated. We immediately performed the escape maneuver. Fuel remaining after the escape did not allow another approach to lszh; so we diverted. Fuel remaining at arrival was 5.0. After refueling; we returned to lszh for another turbulent approach and landing. Kudos to our flight training department: the windshear was almost exactly like the simulator training I have had for 28 yrs. That training made the event seem almost routine.

Title: B767-300 FLT CREW ENCOUNTERS WINDSHEAR ON FINAL APCH AT LSZH; EXECUTES ESCAPE MANEUVER; DIVERTS FOR LNDG.
Narrative: ON APCH TO LSZH; WE EXPERIENCED CONTINUOUS MODERATE TURB. AT 1500 FT AGL; THE RED WINDSHEAR ALERT ACTIVATED. WE IMMEDIATELY PERFORMED THE ESCAPE MANEUVER. FUEL REMAINING AFTER THE ESCAPE DID NOT ALLOW ANOTHER APCH TO LSZH; SO WE DIVERTED. FUEL REMAINING AT ARR WAS 5.0. AFTER REFUELING; WE RETURNED TO LSZH FOR ANOTHER TURBULENT APCH AND LNDG. KUDOS TO OUR FLT TRAINING DEPT: THE WINDSHEAR WAS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE SIMULATOR TRAINING I HAVE HAD FOR 28 YRS. THAT TRAINING MADE THE EVENT SEEM ALMOST ROUTINE.
