Gear down on departure
Random question for you B6 pilots. Several weeks ago a friend was on a flight from Florida and the captain made a PA saying they would be leaving the gear down for several minutes after departure, so the extra sound didn't spook the passengers. Then a few weeks ago I was flying out of HPN and heard the pilot tell the same thing to ATC that they would be leaving their gear down for several minutes on departure.
What was the reason for this?

Not a bus driver here….is that a big performance penalty? Or if a motor blows on departure is the procedure to say screw it and stow the gear or just leave it out. I’d have to imagine it is a big penalty to leave it out and trying to use one motor to climb and drag the gear.

There is a note in the procedure to raise the gear in the event of an engine failure after V1.
Nothing like this on the 320 side.

Kinda makes you wonder about the 737 with no brake temp monitoring. Especially a heavy -800 or -900 with a ref speed of 160 knots. 🙈🙉🙊
