Brakes HOT is different, inhibit releases at lift-off.
Does not change his point. If damage to tyre suspected, retract or not? The concern is of course the extension after that.
I believe it is not a black or white area and many factors have to be taken into account, that is possibly why Airbus did not publish any clear cut guidance on that. As an initial action one could leave the gear down and then assess the best course of action depending on ATOW, terrain involved at departure, sector length, terrain en route etc.. I believe that in this kind of scenario it is the thought process of the crew that is to be highlighted rather than purely the decision, ie. gear up or down.
