From the threshold at 40ft, a go-around is initiated. The gear lever is raised 2 seconds later. The a/c settles on the runway 12 seconds after that, at a badly decayed speed coming from 150kts. Is 120 kts a good guesstimate?

Surely, the gear shouldn't be selected UP until "positive rate" is announced?
