Apparently if it happens - in any aircraft - the recommendation is to extend the gear as soon as possible. The rationale is that this assists in damping the inevitable phugoid motion from using thrust to control pitch.

There have been studies done (NASA?) with a view to someday include a "thrust only" reversion into future flight control software.
