Analysis
The plt stated that he was receiving a multi-engine flight check from a designated flt examiner. They were still rolling after a landing when the examiner requested a go-around. The plt said that after advancing the throttles, he reached for the flap switch & raised the landing gear switch instead. The landing gear retracted.
