Bafanguy,
Have had uncommanded flap retraction in a small TP - on a 1300 m runway. Thank God, it occured at V1 -15 kt. and we stopped quite easily - but I sure as hell didn't have time to look around and see what had caused the horn to start blaring. It turned out that flap maintenance had been carried out during the night, and some of the microswitches had been locked out. I took this incident to prove that two things can and do go wrong at the same time .

Ever since then, I subscribe to the same school of thought as qwertyuiop
