On the flip side. If you retact your gear before VYSE, you are asking for trouble.

I misread the post!
I was taught a similar thing at a flying training school (200ft for one rwy, 300ft for the other) but that was because we'd have 3500m of bitumen to land on. On shorter strips the determining factor was Vyse.
Chimbu Chuckles, great posts.
I suppose I should consider myself lucky I was taught by someone like those you describe?
