Why do companies have all engine operating heights for retracting the flaps. In the case of your global for instance, what has height got to do with anything? I realise its an SOP (it is for most companies) but where does it come from? Its got nothing to do with the manufacturers. For the challenger the flaps can be retracted at V2+20. So why does anyone wait for a height?
