An accelerated flap retraction profile, which is generally not noise abated but more fuel efficient, allows the aircraft to accelerate to flap retraction speed, possibly as low as 200 feet AGL, get the flaps up, then fly clean at a higher climbout speed.
Excuse me?
200 feet?
I'll tell you what, if this 200 feet nonsense was tried at
any airline where I have worked, the offending Commander, upon return to base, would be severely drawn and quartered in the staff parking lot.
With no tea and biscuits.
