When clear of the windshear, look at the a/c config, both gear and flaps. Basically you should clean up in the same order as a normal T/O - gear, thrust, flaps. Gear first reduces the drag, CL thrust changes pitch mode from SRS to CLB or OP CLB , which commands acceleration for Flap retraction.

However there are possible complications..... With TOGA the a/c may well accelerate rapidly, so you must keep speed and speed trend awareness: if the arrow is big and you are getting near Vmax then select CL thrust first (or even less than CL if you judge it to be necessary), but be aware of possible deceleration with Gear and CONF3, or CONF FULL on a G/A. You can select CL again when everything is back under control.

On a G/A the order is Flap 3, Gear, CL thrust, Flaps.

The managed speed target will remain at V2 while in SRS - the windshear has no effect on that.
