Landing Gear Retraction??
I'm currently involved in an FMEA on the A380 gear retraction systems and we're looking at inadvertent retraction scenarios.
What I'd like to ask is: What are the criteria for the PF calling "gear up"? Is it as simple as just positive rate of climb or is there a particular speed to be reached before gear up is selected (e.g 1.2*V2 or similar)?
