Narrative:
During the take-off run, approaching the take-off reference speeds, the airspeed stopped increasing and did not start increasing again for several seconds. The captain noticed that the wind vector on the navigation display was showing a tailwind of about 20-25 kt. The captain disconnected the auto-throttle and ‘fire-walled’ the thrust levers. During the initial climb, the first officer performed a windshear escape manoeuvre.
