I'll re-phrase the question: Are there any specific provisions in the certification realm, how the adverse aerodynamic effect of L/G retraction is accounted for?
On a performance-limiting runway (think EFATO - "Go" on wet, TODA limited) around the screen height point, the margins inherent to the daily calculation are quite narrow.
claim no knowledge of how bad the degradation would be, though through hearsay an open NLG wheel well with the doors extended acting like endplates delivers quite a punch on the 737classic at high AoA. Any CDL guru to shed a light?
