At least one operator disregards the published (runway analysis obstacle clearance figure) one engine inoperative acceleration altitude if, on arrival at the level off altitude, the crew are still carrying out any Recall Items of a non-normal check-list.

The directive is that all Recall Items will be completed and only then the pilot enters the third segment regardless of the third segment altitude. This immediately negates the obstacle clearance requirements. I would have thought it should be well within the capabilities of a competent crew to both fly the aircraft to obstacle clearance parameters and at the same time carry out vital actions such as Recall Items.
