If this is true then I would expect that, for a 2000' level off eg Liverpool, it would be very difficult to level off and subsequently raise the flaps to Flap 1 without shooting through 220kts if you were not supposed to touch the power before calling 'flaps up'.

Does anyone know if this IS exactly how they expect people to fly it - or is some thrust reduction prior to this point considered reasonable?
Technically on the go around for Liverpool RW27 you enter the hold after the missed approach, if you check the speed limit for the hold its 185kts max however in the assessment its unlikely that you will fly the full missed approach procedure due to the limited time scale, due to feedback from students and the briefing pack for the assessment they expect both hands to remain on the control column until flaps up no lights, its a good idea to leave the thrust at 90% N1 to leave the aircraft accelerate to retract the flaps, if your ahead of the aircraft and when you reach level off you call bug up and retract flaps on schedule then you will find that when the monitoring pilot says flaps up no lights the speed will be between 220kts and 250kts therefore you can put your hands on the thrust levers and bring the N1 back to 60-70% or adjust accordingly,on the briefing pack they make it very clear that both hands are to remain on the control column until the flaps are up and the lights are out.
