ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Performing a go-around/rejected landing with an engine failure.

Bottom line

From a landing configuration with any degree of extended flaps, the light twin will need an excessive amount of altitude to make the transition from a descent to a climb with gear and flaps retracted. The approach and landing may be conducted with no more than partial flaps, or full flaps may be selected when on short final with the landing absolutely assured.
