Narrative:
I was told never to attempt a go around with full flaps on single engine due to the performance factors of the aircraft. Also, on my ATP multi/mei checkride with the FAA, I was told the same thing. On aug/fri/89 at XY45, we were cleared for touch and go 12R cps. After clearing us on downwind, the tower cleared another aircraft for takeoff on 12R. That aircraft took its time and on final we were on simulated single-engine failure with full flaps. The aircraft that was cleared for takeoff had lifted off the runway approximately 100 AGL we were 1/4 mi final when instructed to go around. I advised tower unable due to us being single-engine. I know now that when practicing single-engine and the tower tells you to go around, give the engine back to the student. The tower filled out a loss of separation report. I don't think the tower should clear someone for touch and go or landing and give someone else a clearance for takeoff on the same runway.

Title: LIGHT TWIN ENGINE ACFT ON SIMULATED SINGLE ENGINE APCH REFUSES GO AROUND INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE TWR.
Narrative: I WAS TOLD NEVER TO ATTEMPT A GO AROUND WITH FULL FLAPS ON SINGLE ENGINE DUE TO THE PERFORMANCE FACTORS OF THE ACFT. ALSO, ON MY ATP MULTI/MEI CHECKRIDE WITH THE FAA, I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ON AUG/FRI/89 AT XY45, WE WERE CLRED FOR TOUCH AND GO 12R CPS. AFTER CLEARING US ON DOWNWIND, THE TWR CLRED ANOTHER ACFT FOR TKOF ON 12R. THAT ACFT TOOK ITS TIME AND ON FINAL WE WERE ON SIMULATED SINGLE-ENGINE FAILURE WITH FULL FLAPS. THE ACFT THAT WAS CLRED FOR TKOF HAD LIFTED OFF THE RWY APPROX 100 AGL WE WERE 1/4 MI FINAL WHEN INSTRUCTED TO GO AROUND. I ADVISED TWR UNABLE DUE TO US BEING SINGLE-ENGINE. I KNOW NOW THAT WHEN PRACTICING SINGLE-ENGINE AND THE TWR TELLS YOU TO GO AROUND, GIVE THE ENGINE BACK TO THE STUDENT. THE TWR FILLED OUT A LOSS OF SEPARATION REPORT. I DON'T THINK THE TWR SHOULD CLEAR SOMEONE FOR TOUCH AND GO OR LNDG AND GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CLRNC FOR TKOF ON THE SAME RWY.
