and shift to a Code F classification upon entering the runway
Yes, that would be one checklist item you really wouldn't want to overlook.
A while ago I read in Naval Aviation News (published by US Navy as I recall) that at the time the Navy had (inadvertantly of course) launched at least one of every folding wing aircraft type they had ever used with the wings still folded.
This despite assigning crew members to explicitly check before launch. (Naturally same story applies for wheels up landings)
A surprising percentage were able to unfold and recover after launch.
