This happens in level flight, the AP cannot overrule ALT (green). Some departures from LGW may, but many Russian airports certainly do have a low hard limit climb altitude (900m / 600 m). If the frequency is busy or they just need you there, you stay level. And ALT* comes very early. Then,
210 flaps auto retract
You move the flaplever to 0 at S speed.
Red barber pole disappears
But before slats physically retract (not that fast, 5 seconds), you zoom over 230 kts.
FDM event is triggered and the chief pilots table starts to fill. And that is when good managers start to create procedures beyond FCOM.
Hint: Any procedure that ever was been better compared to what FCOM suggested then have been already embedded. These days, going beyond the book will cause some trouble somewhere some day.
