Flight Crew reported a dual engine over temperature condition on take off. While reducing power to eliminate the over temperature condition; a lack of climb performance was noticed. The landing gear was still extended so the Captain selected gear up at 285 knots; over speed for gear retraction.
Synopsis
Flight Crew reported a dual engine over temperature condition on take off. While reducing power to eliminate the over temperature condition; a lack of climb performance was noticed. The landing gear was still extended so the Captain selected gear up at 285 knots; over speed for gear retraction.
Narrative
Moments after a normal takeoff; as the Pilot Flying; I called for 'Gear Up' with a positive rate call from the Captain. At effectively that same moment we received an ECAM message of both engines having an EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) overtemperature. As the Flying Pilot I called 'my aircraft' and flew the airplane along the departure eventually reducing thrust to eliminate the EGT overtemperature. During the departure I mentioned to the Captain that the plane was not climbing very well and we were not sure if it had something to do with engine thrust because of the high EGT event. I mentally went through checking the aircraft and realized the gear was still down and let the Captain know that the gear is still down. After bringing the gear down condition to the Captain's attention he unfortunately just reached over and put the gear up while I was attempting to let him know that we need to slow down first. We had a gear overspeed during retraction with the limit being 220 knots and our aircraft current was speed approximately 235 knots. The main issue I believe that occurred was a distraction right at the 'gear up' call by having an ECAM of both engines having an EGT Over Temp. Secondly after it was detected the gear was still down I could have verbalized not only that the gear is still down but prefaced it first that we need to slow down before correcting the condition. Since we were at a high altitude airport; the temperature outside was rising and we were doing a TOGA takeoff it may have been a good idea to brief the possibility of getting an EGT Over Temperature indication so it did not interrupt our normal flow.
Second reporter narrative
On take off from ZZZ we got an ECAM for both engine EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temperatures) exceeding the limits just as the First Officer had called for gear up. I got distracted by the over heating engines and failed to bring the gear up. We later noticed on the climb out below 10;000 feet. that I had failed to bring the gear up. I immediately reached over and put the gear up. The First Officer tried to say hold on but I grabbed the handle to quickly without thinking about it. We were climbing out at approximately 235 knots at that point so the gear retraction speed of 220 knots was exceeded.I got distracted by the over heating engines and ended up bringing the gear up at an abnormal time in the flight.If something is abnormal you should slow down and carefully think about what you're doing. Also checking with the other pilot before action is taken.
