I think you're onto something here. The CVR should shine the light.
Flaps 1 were selected at 243 knots IAS, the landing gears and speed brakes were retracted. Over-speed and EGPWS warnings were then triggered.
The PM prepared the plane for a go around. Seems the PF wasn't in the loop here. Then later, I think somebody went to retract the gear as part of the climb from the runway.
FDR recording indicates a brief action of selection of landing gear lever to down position, which was immediately followed by its movement to up position.
I'd like to think that this was the "oh
" moment when it all came together in the mind of that person. Tunnel vision has been mentioned. I can see one person suffering from tunnel vision, but for both pilots to simultaneously lose the big picture?
