Narrative:
Flight was first leg of first officer transition IOE. Captain was line check airman and PF. Takeoff was from runway 28L with shoreline departure. During right turn at 800 ft AGL captain selected climb thrust and called out annunciation thrust climb, open climb, heading. First officer stated later in debrief he heard retract flaps and selected flaps zero position. Airspeed showed significant penetration into alpha protected airspace. Captain immediately leveled wings and lowered nose to accelerate. No loss of separation, deviation from departure track, or failure to meet altitude constraints occurred. No alphas floor toga lock occurred. Review of situation suggests as part of initial brief on IOE, I should review the profile and callouts in more detail.

Title: PREMATURE RETRACTION OF FLAPS SLATS BY THE FO, PNF, ON AN A320 GIVES CAUSE FOR PIC TO INCREASE SPD AND LEVEL WINGS DURING THE INITIAL DEP PROC FROM SFO, CA.
Narrative: FLT WAS FIRST LEG OF FO TRANSITION IOE. CAPT WAS LINE CHK AIRMAN AND PF. TKOF WAS FROM RWY 28L WITH SHORELINE DEP. DURING R TURN AT 800 FT AGL CAPT SELECTED CLB THRUST AND CALLED OUT ANNUNCIATION THRUST CLB, OPEN CLB, HDG. FO STATED LATER IN DEBRIEF HE HEARD RETRACT FLAPS AND SELECTED FLAPS ZERO POS. AIRSPD SHOWED SIGNIFICANT PENETRATION INTO ALPHA PROTECTED AIRSPACE. CAPT IMMEDIATELY LEVELED WINGS AND LOWERED NOSE TO ACCELERATE. NO LOSS OF SEPARATION, DEV FROM DEP TRACK, OR FAILURE TO MEET ALT CONSTRAINTS OCCURRED. NO ALPHAS FLOOR TOGA LOCK OCCURRED. REVIEW OF SIT SUGGESTS AS PART OF INITIAL BRIEF ON IOE, I SHOULD REVIEW THE PROFILE AND CALLOUTS IN MORE DETAIL.
