On recent flight from europe; 20 minutes after take-off we leveled at 6200m / 20500ft @ 250kts approx. for a couple of minutes. Gear was then lowered - am still recovering from dislocated shoulder, tennis elbow and broken wrist from Mrs A's attentions - we were in 1 H & J which is presumably just above the nose gear which is why it sounded so loud. After about a minute, gear was raised and we accelerated and climbed to 31000 ft.
Any thoughts on why gear would have been cycled at this time / altitude?
Not a word from the flight deck.
Remainder of the 7seven hour flight was a none event.
