My 2 cents worth

Its a shame if it turns out that this accident was the result of an over zealous gear retraction. Why are we so keen to retract the gear in a all engines operating GA? Its the least important thing to be doing. Thrust is more important and mode confirmation is more important. I have seen crews in sims permit a focus on LG retraction distract them from the bigger ticket items.
