Exclamation

Just a minor note of caution for anyone new to the Arrow who may follow juggernauts sequence of gear and flap retraction.

There is a little potential trap in that the gear retraction limit speed is somewhat higher than the flap limit [113 to 102 kias, or thereabouts from memory.]

The little devil does accelerate very nicely when the wheels tuck away and there is a bit of a nose down pitch on retraction which tends to aid the process, so for anyone not used to the a/c, the application of some back pressure and a watching eye on the ASI is recommended!

So long as this is done, no probs.
