Question

@BOAC #1916

a) is distracting - 100% concentration required from both crew on flying out of the stall
b) can cause further pitch trim changes
Is it only distruction of the crew or insane loss of lift due to retraction of flaps? Lift keeps you aloft, thrust gives speed to produce the lift, no? If you are at stall speed in landing config and you retract flaps you fall out of the sky don't you?
