Check, we do not disagree with your solution either.
Yet please observe: The task-sharing for CJ2's method:
either PF/PNF -> announce <explanative of choice>
PF -> move finger by 2 inches and push, turn then. Simultaneously call GEAR DOWN
PM - set L/G lever down
PF - read FMA "VS -2000"
Done in under two seconds, situation contained and the aircraft state / modes are exactly where they had been planned to be. No mental shift for the crew and all text-book callouts and cross-cockpit verifications.
Exactly ONE (admittable double) action of FCU, ONE command, and read of ONE commanded mode change. The full take-over and disconnect has more moves / tasks by order of magnitude.
Besides, personally, I'd go
- AP off and push to keep the nose from rising
- retard the TL's back to around 1/3 travel (a lot) but keeping ATHR on, even if limited
- call FD's off, then TL's to CLB again or ATHR off.
(8 "events" if I calculate correctly)
Feel invited to write yours, from where I am it looks like you are in CL detent with man thrust. :-) Google speed tape confusion, and it has killed more than few times already.
On the topic of "children of magenta", a term which is these days overwhelmingly used as a snotty remark to throw insults around by people who did not put the effort in to understand the message of that lecture ...
... waste of time.
