If all you have is the single hydraulic pump, you select
gear and flaps up before you feather the engine and while
you are pulling the hand lever out. The windmilling engine
will pump the gear and flaps most of the way saving a little
time. You select flaps up, then the gear. The flaps will
pause while the gear retracts and then finish.

Dual pumps were a popular option on privately flown
airplanes, but schools liked the lower cost and the extra
training.

Takeoffs and landings in the Aztec are simply fun. If you don't care
whether or not you can see out the windscreen, just rotate at 80mph, hold
100mph, and it will climb like you say, a scalded cat. Landings can be just
as steep, it will land on any spot you can see over the nose. Hold 85mph
all the way down to 30ft above the deck then ad a short burst of power to
arrest your decent as you level off, you can have it stopped in 500 ft easy.
