How stupid is this? You only raise the undercarriage if you have a positive rate of climb, be it either T/O or G/A, but certainly not to force the PF into a G/A from an approach
Tired of people who wont read a thread before they post.
This idea of raising the gear to force a GA was put forward as a last ditch option for the FO if the Captain refuses to abort a landing.I dont like it anymore than you do.However,perhaps it is sometimes called for if the Captain seems intent on killing everyone.The B737 Indonesian crash is a case in point.

Read the entire thread and dont ever wave your finger at me again.
