I'm thinking if we don't separate gear and flaps during a G/A, then it isn't an issue on the approach.
. Purely from go around perspective, we do and should separate gear and flaps. The flap is retracted from full to 3. Then FMA(which ensures TOGA&SRS) and sustained climb only then gear up. That's the lesson driven home by Dubai 777 accident. If the gear wasn't retracted it wouldn't have happened.
