just to check we are not talking at cross purposes here.

My point is that it is safer to do one thing at a time. Which recall item dont you run in order to call for the level segment. From a human factors point of view interrupting a recall checklist is asking to forget an item.
I know we are not talking aircraft specifics but as an example of what I mean on the 757 at the weights I operate the performance is such that, by the time you have run the recall items including the 30 second wait between fire bottles if reqd, you could be well through min flap retract. The engine limit does not really come into it as it has taken the same time you just reach a higher altitude light compared to heavy.
