Thanks JiffaJaffa
When going through this procedure in the Sim it all appeared to happen quite quickly from level off to 220kts (as the breifing say's fly at 220kts unless told otherwise) and I would have thought it prudent to reduce power as the level off is commenced - however, as you say, the 'keep both hands on the control column until flaps up' instruction is quite clear.
Thanks again.
