Hello!

In my part of the world, most major airports have noise abatement rules that call for a V2+10kt climb until passing 1500ft AGL before retracting flaps and accellerating. Therefore, many operators have made this (totally arbitrary!) 1500-figure part of their SOPs. Luckily, we are still permitted to do what we want if we precede it with "non standard"
