Is it not standard procedure to wait until you are well on your way back up to pull the landing gear?
As a side note, I was returning from Germany one time landing into Charlotte and there was very strong winds. The pilot had to go back around when we were less than 100 ft off the ground. I'll never forget it because as soon as he dropped the hammer on the throttle like 5 people around me threw up instantly. You could tell it was windy but the Pilot didn't give any directions over the speaker until well after he hit the throttle so no one was nervous before hand. It was just something to do with naturally being nervous about landing and then quick change, it was crazy how many people threw up instantly.
