A hypothetical situation, and a doubt

- which in normal circumstances would've warranted a go-around. Since
you can't do that now with one engine,

Of course you can go-around on one engine. Transport category a/c
are required by regulation to be able to do that.

Correct - Since the OP said "turbine" and "ingestion" we can assume we
are referring to a transport category aircraft, which is indeed capable
of doing the go-aound on one engine (or two, or three - depends on what
an engine-out condition indicates for a given type).

Nevertheless, such situations have given rise to many incidents and some
accidents. Examples : What seemed to be an engine-out condition, due to a
bird strike, turned out to be a both-engines-out condition (due to bird
strike) and the plane did not complete the go-around procedure. OR : In
haste and confusion, flight crew raised gear but not flaps, and the plane
was not able to initiate go around, settled to runway with too little
runway remaining, but was able to stop in available runway due to gear-up
landing - OR : Go-around was initiated, but fuel selection was
inappropriate and plane made forced landing, believing they had a total
power loss.....

In a smaller plane (light twin) the available power is not adequate to
perform a go-around on one engine with adequate safety margins, and you
must get it down, even if you break it. In a transport plane with two
engines, it is perfectly possible, but you must weigh the risk to benefit
ratio, and maximize crew resource management to make sure everything is
done by the book. In a 747 you should hardly notice any performance loss.
