I can see the mistake happening - it's a crossover between "gear up" and "flaps up" and two motor-actions albeit different levers - but as I said, I'd like to see the experience levels.
Exactly. It was done to me once by an experienced and very competent FO. Just a case of wrong motor programme. Thankfully, both of us identified the mistake as it happened and he move the lever straight back before the flaps could respond. It didn't even show up on the data monitoring.
