More than 200 seats, you carry more than one axe/crowbar in the rear galley.
Overheated brakes, wheel catch fire and tyres may break. You should keep the engines running when the brakes are overheated and when you've stopped. In case of anything, you can move the aircraft, and since brakes are unserviceable you have reverse thrust to stop in case.
Windshear
=> variation in IAS, you'll shove the nose down and open power, you may overshoot, hence you should initiate a go-around
=> usually in windshear on approach, you should be higher
=> must be reported to ATC (other pilots may report windshear on approach, then you will be aware)
Microburst
=> 2.5 NM, extends over 4 minutes
=> upward current (from afar) but when you get closer it is a downward current
=> IAS increases (initially, from afar) then decreases rapidly when you are near
=> Thunderstorms, passage of a front
Wake Turbulence
