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 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 2,603 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 580 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 18 at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The departure roll on runway 18 was completed with a takeoff distance of 2,565 m, representing 65 % of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 176 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 18 °C, wind 1 kt from 170 °, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 1 kt.
Climb commenced 2 miles south-west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, rising from 1,375 ft asl to 33,009 ft asl, an increase of 31,634 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 132 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles north-west of Meix-devant-Virton and continued for 55 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 414 nm.
Descent started 3 miles west of Saint-Symphorien, descending from 33,016 ft asl to 10,007 ft asl, a loss of 23,008 ft in 15 minutes and covering 109 nm.
A second level cruise segment was initiated 14 miles north of Bermeo, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 9 nm.
The next descent began 9 miles north-west of Elexalde, dropping from 10,105 ft asl to 1,428 ft asl, a decrease of 8,677 ft over 6 minutes and covering 23 nm.
Final approach
The Airbus A321ceo approached runway 12 at LEBB Bilbao Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits and the approach scored on the stabilisation gates; the descent covered 1,335 ft AGL to 78 ft AGL in 96 seconds.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 150 kt; the aircraft crossed the touchdown zone 167 m beyond its start, touched down at 142 kt which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 103 fpm.
Touchdown occurred on runway 12, whose length is 2,603 m, with the touchdown point misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline, a total landing distance of 1,424 m (55 % of the runway), temperature 18 °C, wind 2 kt from 070°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 1 kt.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline, with a misalignment of 10.2 m from the centreline.
Minor refinements to centreline tracking on touchdown and during rollout would bring the already high 95.4 % score closer to perfection.
