Perhaps I am just a nervous Nellie ... but I get rather twitchy reading of tales involving retracting the gear in light twins (with abysmal performance capabilities .. especially OEI) at the initiation of low level missed approaches ... and then waddling around scant feet above the ground with the wheels tucked away .. maybe I am just getting old ...

.. the thought of permitting oneself to be in the situation where an OEI missed approach is even a possibility from low level is not appealing in the slightest .. whatever happened to adopting a rather higher bottom line height below which the OEI missed approach is not an option ? .. or don't people do that these days ?
