I tried the same back in the 1995 (as I remember) in CPH.
We were 2 students onboard and an instructor.

I was supposed to have at type-rating on the C402A, and the other student should have an OPC.
I made a SE go-around, and when selecting the gear up there was a strange sound.
It turned out the nose-gear-doors were not in connection with the nose-gear and they were able partial close while the gear was down. That caused the nose-gear unable to retract through a partial closed door, and instead the actuator arm broke due to hidden fatigue.

We decided to let the instructor land the A/C while we students went to aft as ballast.
Almost no drama except when we left the A/C there came an unexpected loud noise, when one of the fire-trucks decided to put some foam on the fuselage.

The A/C was repaired again.
