Routine takeoff procedure

Hello
I’m trying to develop a routine for takeoff. I’m new to a P337 ( turbo)

There is agreement that there is a drag penalty during gear transition. But really a significant issue if you lose an engine.

There is some debate about When to raise the gear etc.

There also seems to be agreement that most engine failures happen when changing power settings.

So one standard takeoff seems to be:

Climb at full power to 500 ft
Then raise gear, then flaps, then reduce to climb power settings ( similar to most twins, just at a higher altitude)

If in mountains, inhospitable terrain etc. Climb to maybe 1,000 ft and then same routine.

Others retract flaps soon after takeoff, Reduce power to climb settings at 500 ft or so, and then gear at 1,000 ft


I’m interested if there is a consensus among the forum readers.


Thx.

Greg.
