Valid points JT and Checkboard!

Asked the question as I have seen both a 2-engine (quad) and single-engine (twin) go around executed beyond the stated committal height successfully... While I'm not suggesting that you would consider doing something like that normally, but if you absolutely had to, would you have any idea what you would do?

The way it was demonstrated was to apply GA power and continue descending. One demonstration even involved retracting the landing gear while continuing the descent to reduce the drag and allow for rotation without the speed bleeding... Is the answer just a case, of 'do-whatever-you-can'?
