Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 33 kt fast at 203 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 2,435 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
The departure roll was performed on runway 02, using a takeoff distance of 1,455 m (39 % of the runway). Liftoff was achieved at 162 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 26 °C, wind 4 kt from 339 °, giving a 3 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.
Climb began overhead Camarate, increasing altitude from 1,255 ft asl to 21,009 ft asl, an ascent of 19,754 ft completed in 9 minutes while covering 52 nm.
Level cruise started 12 miles west of LPSF Pista de Melides Santo Andre and continued for 3 minutes, during which 22 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated 1 mile north-east of Porto Covo, descending from 20,525 ft asl to 1,326 ft asl, a loss of 19,200 ft over 14 minutes and a distance of 65 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at LPFR Faro Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 100.0 °, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl.
Landing on runway 10, which is 2,435 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 138 kt. Touchdown occurred 384 m down the runway at 132 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 230 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at landing indicated a temperature of 28 °C, wind 4 kt from 100 °, providing a 4 kt headwind and no crosswind.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,142 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After exiting the runway, the Airbus A320 taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 147 nm, required 34 minutes of flight time, and consumed 1,461 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 entered final approach to runway 10 at LPFR Faro Airport from the west on a heading of 100.0 ° at 4 NM and 1,294 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 28 °C with wind 4 kt from 100 °, giving a 4 kt head-wind component and zero cross-wind.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 138 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 384 m, indicating the aircraft crossed the threshold at the expected aim point.
Touchdown speed was 132 kt, described as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 230 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, placing the aircraft well on centreline.
Total landing distance measured 1,142 m, representing 47 % of the 2,435 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine an already excellent performance, a slight reduction in touchdown speed toward the target VREF would improve energy management, and a marginally shallower sink rate would further smooth the touchdown while preserving the excellent alignment.
