Landing climb: All-engines-operating.

In the landing configuration, the steady gradient of climb may not be less than 3.2 percent, with the engines at the power or thrust that is available 8 seconds after initiation of movement of the power or thrust controls from the minimum flight idle to the go-around power or thrust setting--
So, engines should be spooled up 8 seconds before minimum (not a fixed 1000' or any fixed altitude, but using the minimum) to insure GA power without violating MDA/DA.
