100%!! Too much emphasis at times placed on repeating by rote without actually checking the aircraft is doing what we say (think) it's doing. There should never be a hurry to retract the gear. Slow things down, fly the plane, do the basics, build up from there. Forget the radio until the plane is doing what you want it to do. We talk about Aviate, Navigate, Communicate (in that order), then throw it all out the window when startled!

Only practical and resilient training can help reduce accidents like this repeating themselves.
