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.

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 six 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,589 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,284 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 31 at KRDG Reading Regional Airport for a duration of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 2,859 ft, representing 45 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 141 kt; ambient temperature was 61 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 2 mi west of Fox Chase, PA, where the aircraft rose from 1,363 ft asl to 30,012 ft asl, an altitude gain of 28,649 ft in 13 minutes while covering 79 nm.
Level cruise began 4 mi west of KRVL Mifflin County Airport, Reedsville, PA, and persisted for 58 minutes, during which 506 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated 1 mi east of 68IS Casa De Aero Park Airport, Hampshire, IL, with the aircraft descending from 30,008 ft asl to 1,964 ft asl, a loss of 28,044 ft in 18 minutes over a distance of 105 nm.
The final approach to runway 25R at KENW Kenosha Regional Airport involved a descent from 1,264 ft agl to 23 ft agl in 101 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25R, which is 6,589 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 118 kt (slightly below target) and a touchdown distance of 1,281 ft; touchdown speed was 110 kt, touchdown rate was minus 220 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset by 19 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 59 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 2,775 ft, equal to 42 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Runway rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 697 nm, taking 96, and used 0 lbs of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X conducted the final approach to runway 25R at KENW Kenosha Regional Airport with a stabilised profile at the 1,000 ft gate; gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed were all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,264 ft AGL to 23 ft AGL in 101 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 118 kt. The flare was executed in line with the observed parameters.
Touchdown occurred 1,281 ft down the runway with a speed of 110 kt, both judged good. The vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 220 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 19 ft from the centreline.
Rollout used a total distance of 2,775 ft, representing 42 % of the 6,589-ft runway, and the runway-rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the target threshold speed of 120 kt and refine centreline tracking to keep the touchdown point within a few feet of the centreline; these adjustments will help convert the already high 97.2 % score into an even tighter performance.
