I don't yet fly aircraft with retractable gear so please forgive the question, but what are the criteria which need to be met for the 'gear up' call? Is it just a case of "positive rate" from the pilot monitoring results in an automatic "gear up" call from the pilot flying, or is there more to it than that? Thanks, Rich
In theory, the PNF/PM observes two indications of climb, usually altimeter and VSI, and then calls "positive rate/climb". The PF confirms same, and calls "Gear Up".
