    Also gear should probably be retracted first (though I don’t actually know for certain for this aircraft)

      Usually the gear is retracted almost immediately after takeoff, as it creates a huge amount of unnecessary drag if left out when not needed.

        Ya that’s true for multiengine in general. I just didn’t know if there was any other sequencing needed for the 787 (like move flaps from 5 to 4) because I know nothing about flying such large planes.
