Once you had gear and full flap down, you were committed to land. A go around from that point was forbidden!
Couldn't have put it better myself.

I have some great pics. of the remains of a Piper twin, where the hotshot instructor tried to go around with gear and flap out, they didn't come in quick enough (Ha Ha) because he had failed the engine with the only hydraulic pump. Luckily, both instructor and student got out with very minor injuries, but they went though the ridge of an old barn, you could see the aeroplane shape.

Please remember you are mostly flying FAR 23 aircraft, that says it all.

Tootle pip!!
