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 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 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 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, a movement that lasted six minutes and covered approximately one nautical mile.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the Airbus A321-ceo accelerated to a liftoff speed of 171 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,846 m, which represented 50 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 35 °C, wind from 269° at 2 kt, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Camarate, rising from 1,224 ft asl to 32,864 ft asl-a gain of 31,640 ft-over a period of 27 minutes while covering 178 nm.
Descent began one mile north-east of LEMY Aeródromo Belvis de Monroy Millanes, descending from 33,002 ft asl to 3,189 ft asl, a loss of 29,812 ft, in 22 minutes and spanning 127 nm.
The final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport was executed from the south-east on a heading of 322.0°, entering the approach at four nautical miles out and 1,226 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1,269 ft agl to 59 ft agl in 89 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing was achieved on runway 32R, whose total length is 2,996 m. The threshold speed was 148 kt, touchdown occurred 423 m down the runway at a speed of 142 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 179 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was perfect, and local weather reported a temperature of 31 °C, wind from 270° at 2 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind component. The total landing distance recorded was 1,344 m, equivalent to 45 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in three minutes, covering less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 317 nm, required 58 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,109 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321ceo entered the final approach to runway 32R at LEMD from the south-east on a heading of 322.0° at 4 nm and 1,226 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Local weather was 31 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and achieved a threshold speed of 148 kt. The descent from 1,269 ft agl to 59 ft agl was completed in 89 seconds, positioning the aircraft for a proper flare.
Touchdown occurred 423 m down the 2,996 m runway, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt described as a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was good at -179 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout alignment remained perfect and the total landing distance was 1,344 m, representing 45 % of the runway length.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the target value while preserving the good alignment and rate already demonstrated. Maintaining precise speed control through the flare will tighten the touchdown point and further optimise runway usage.
