For the assessment procedure the paperwork states for a go-around:

# Call ‘Go-around, Flaps Fifteen’ (GA, F15o). The PM will select the Flaps to 15o
# Push the Thrust Levers towards maximum thrust (full arm length action required on the Thrust levers).
# Then immediately put both hands on the control column. The PM will set the Thrust to 90% N1.
# Pitch up and fly 140 knots minimum. (VflyF30o=V2 F15o). On a Boeing “the speed you fly in is the speed you fly out” (assuming Flaps are re-configured)
# Next call ‘Gear Up’. The PM will select the Gear up.
# Maintain 140knots & F15o until levelling off. The Flap retraction schedule is the opposite to the extension schedule (above)…..at 150 knots call ‘Flaps 5o’…at 170 knots, call ‘Flaps 1’o and at 190 knots call ‘Flaps up’.

Once you call for ‘Flaps up’ you are responsible for the Thrust Levers.
Is the thrust reduced from 90% during this procedure - because if, for example, you are leveling at 2000' (LPL) i would think you will go rocketing through the height or (if you are lucky enough to catch it) the flap speeds before you finally come out with "Flaps Up".

Does anyone have any experience of how this happens in the assessment? Cheers!
