Speed on the fast side
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at SVTM Tumeremo Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08, the TBM 930 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 96 kt and became airborne after a ground run of 657 m, representing 22 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 26 °C with a 2-kt wind from 064°, no crosswind and a 2-kt headwind.
Climb commenced 3 mi north-east of SVTM, where the aircraft rose from 1,708 ft asl to 3,498 ft asl, a gain of 1,790 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 9 nm.
Level cruise began 12 mi north-east of SVTM and continued for 51 minutes, during which the flight covered 216 nm.
Descent started 11 mi east of Bartica, Guyana, with the aircraft descending from 3,346 ft asl to 1,238 ft asl, a loss of 2,108 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 10 nm.
On final approach to runway 06 at SYCJ Cheddi Jagan International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,203 ft agl to 55 ft agl in 153 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06 was executed with a threshold speed of 90 kt, slightly above target, and a touchdown distance of 475 m; touchdown speed was 77 kt, a little fast, and the vertical speed was minus 145 fpm, with runway-touchdown alignment described as very good.
The rollout continued to a total landing distance of 855 m, equivalent to 38 % of the 2,266 m runway, and rollout alignment was also noted as very good; local weather at the time was 27 °C, wind 4 kt from 060°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 4 kt.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 242 nm, took 64 minutes, and consumed 233 kg of fuel.
The aircraft TBM 930 completed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the descent from 1,203 ft agl to 55 ft agl was achieved in 153 seconds on the final approach to runway 06 at SYCJ Cheddi Jagan International Airport; the approach earned a stabilisation-gate score contributing to the overall 98.1 % landing score.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 90 kt.
Touchdown occurred 475 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 77 kt noted as a little fast; the vertical rate was smooth at minus 145 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 855 m, representing 38 % of the 2,266 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained very good throughout.
To refine the already strong performance, a modest reduction of both threshold and touchdown speeds toward the target values would tighten the speed margin without affecting the smooth rate, helping to preserve the excellent alignment and runway usage already demonstrated.
