Narrative:

Right at V1/vr, a left stall warning caution light came on. This abnormality briefly took the crew's attention. This being a short flight (bwi-dca 7 min flight time) and the crew's workload high, we consequently missed the gear up call. Approximately 4 mins after takeoff the first officer started the after takeoff checklist and the gear problem was noticed. The gear was retracted, then we leveled off and continued the emergency checklist for a left/right stall warning system failure, after which the flight continued uneventfully to destination. At no time was gear speed limitations exceeded. Corrective actions: fly the airplane first. Then take care of minor abnormalities. This is even more important on short/high workload flts. Other contributing factors: turbulence, ATC busy.

Narrative: RIGHT AT V1/VR, A L STALL WARNING CAUTION LIGHT CAME ON. THIS ABNORMALITY BRIEFLY TOOK THE CREW'S ATTN. THIS BEING A SHORT FLT (BWI-DCA 7 MIN FLT TIME) AND THE CREW'S WORKLOAD HIGH, WE CONSEQUENTLY MISSED THE GEAR UP CALL. APPROX 4 MINS AFTER TKOF THE FO STARTED THE AFTER TKOF CHKLIST AND THE GEAR PROB WAS NOTICED. THE GEAR WAS RETRACTED, THEN WE LEVELED OFF AND CONTINUED THE EMER CHKLIST FOR A L/R STALL WARNING SYS FAILURE, AFTER WHICH THE FLT CONTINUED UNEVENTFULLY TO DEST. AT NO TIME WAS GEAR SPD LIMITATIONS EXCEEDED. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: FLY THE AIRPLANE FIRST. THEN TAKE CARE OF MINOR ABNORMALITIES. THIS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT ON SHORT/HIGH WORKLOAD FLTS. OTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: TURB, ATC BUSY.
