I would be deeply uncomfortable doing anything other than a fairly rapid return after any sort of fire indication, especially in an area where all my hydraulics, flap motors &c are located.

The weather and the approach would be the main variables. Hopefully it's either a home base or we've conducted an approach there 45 minutes or so ago so we are reasonably familiar with what to expect so not much to set up.

The main worry for me could potentially be stopping distance and what's hanging off the end of my gear struts. Of course I still only occupy the right seat but that is the position I would advocate!
