After take-off in a retractable-gear aeroplane with positive climb established, the conventional sequence is to:

• A.Reduce power immediately to cruise power as soon as the wheels clear the runway
• B.Lower flaps to full immediately after lift-off to maximise lift in the initial climb
• C.Retract the gear immediately on lift-off to reduce drag before positive rate is confirmed
• D.Firm positive climb rate, no remaining runway to land back on, then retract gear; flaps as required by the POH
