It's not quite so simple. In rules that have been
discussed in rule making circles, the critical engine is assumed to fail at the initiation of go-around. The relation between Vref and the stall speed in the approach configuration permits immediate retraction of flaps by one notch. According to the rule makers, retraction of the undercarriage must wait until the airplane has achieved a steady rate of climb of 100 ft/min, at Vref, approach flap, gear down, one engine inoperative.
A tough nut to crack in 8 seconds. The U/C then needs another 5-7 seconds to retract.
