A couple of comments following Slasher's post ...
(a) under conditions of hot/high/heavy, the bird might need a reduced flap setting to maintain a reasonable approach profile with the gear out, depending on what speed you have when the intial problems are sorted out. A lot depends on training also .. those who periodically get the "engine failure turning final in turbulent conditions" routine in the sim fare a lot better than those for whom it is all a new and exciting experience ....
(b) for those short runways of which you speak, the use of a lower flap setting and the appropriate speed need not necessarily mandate an overrun ... you aren't using the unfactored QRH landing data for scheduled ops, I hope ?
