You can create a task which suspends until the ascent/descent phase.
Simply have the task suspend on an accept statement.
The task will complete its execution upon execution of a rendezvous
associated
with the accept statement. Alternately, the task can start out
executing and
be suspended upon a call to a blocked protected entry.

None of this requires dynamic task allocation.
