VictorYou are quite right, it is generally accepted in the UK at least that 1000ft is the minimum flap retraction (or accelleration alt) so we do indeed keep V2 - V2+20 until we reach 1000, at this point assuming there is no noise restrictions we can then enter relevant modes to begin accelleration past the green 5 and green 1 and retract the flaps on schedule.Take a look at my previous post for how we do things on the classic 737and that might outline things better.RegardsKris
