Good point(s), Vilas.
My concern was that HAL may have retracted the gear on the initial approach attempt with no pilot action. e.g. they had gear down but then speeded up above "xxx" knots. I don't know of any plane that lets HAL retract the gear without a pilot command, but there some that do not send the gear handle signals to the hydraulics without a signal from the WoW switch, huh? Sorry I have not seen all the plots of data from the FDR, and lost the FCOM I had downloaded back in 447 days.
I still would still like to see this discussion on the Tech Log and let the management and other stuff stay here.
