For example, say the flaps would not retract after Takeoff and the departure airport was below landing minima, could one divert to another airport at a flight level above FL200?
Hello,
let's say you have a leading edge flap transit after takeoff, with 1 ore more leading edge devices out, you are limited to 230 Kias. With only one out, you are limited to 300 kias / .65 . The checklist does not mention the altitude restriction as it does not for a pack trip off , for example. The books say that flap extension is limited to 20'000 ft. Anyway this is only my personal opinion
