CX CHIRP Feedback.
B747-400
Following a max weight takeoff, the PF called for flap retraction at well below flap retraction speed. The PNF hesitated and after a short period of confusion the situations was resolved. The PF realized his error and amended the call.
This is from last year. There were several more this year, hence the email from the Chief Pilot.
Again the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department ( as stated in the papers) does not see this as a safety issue.
Maybe when the flaps go up and the aircraft stalls possibly leaving a big hole in TST, they will see this as a safety issue.
