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 1,833 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,833 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 654 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 08L at Munich Airport (EDDM) in 6 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08L, the aircraft accelerated over a take-off distance of 2,194 m, representing 54 % of the runway, and lifted off at 179 kt; ambient temperature was 26 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 059°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb commenced 2 mi west of Eitting, Bavaria, climbing from 2,442 ft asl to 32,795 ft asl - a gain of 30,354 ft - in 26 minutes while covering 164 nm.
Level cruise began overhead Beringen, Kanton Schaffhausen, Switzerland and continued for 80 minutes, during which 592 nm were flown.
A second climb started 4 mi south-west of Granon, La Rioja, Spain, raising the aircraft from 33,006 ft asl to 34,880 ft asl - an increase of 1,874 ft - in 3 minutes and covering 23 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment originated 4 mi south-east of Carcedo de Burgos, Castilla y León, Spain, lasting 35 minutes and encompassing 241 nm.
Descent began 3 mi south of Pampilhosa da Serra, Distrito de Coimbra, Portugal, with the aircraft descending from 35,025 ft asl to 1,662 ft asl - a loss of 33,363 ft - in 21 minutes while traveling 111 nm.
On final approach to runway 02 at Lisbon Portela Airport (LPPT), the aircraft descended from 1,365 ft agl to 54 ft agl in 93 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 02 was achieved with a threshold speed of 152 kt; touchdown occurred 258 m beyond the touchdown zone at 147 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 69 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.1 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 29 °C, wind 5 kt from 330°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. The total landing distance was 1,773 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was noted as very good.
The runway rollout proceeded without deviation, confirming the very good alignment observed at touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,140 nm, lasted 176 minutes, and consumed 8,987 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,365 ft agl to 54 ft agl in 93 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the final approach.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 152 kt. The aircraft touched down 258 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 147 kt described as a little fast. Touchdown rate was excellent at minus 69 fpm, while the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 m from the centreline.
At touchdown the speed of 147 kt remained slightly above the target, the vertical rate of minus 69 fpm was excellent, and the lateral offset of 5.1 m indicated a minor mis-alignment. The aircraft continued the roll with the expected performance.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,773 m, representing 48 % of the 3,710 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 29 °C, wind 5 kt from 330°, with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
To refine the already strong performance, aim to achieve a touchdown speed closer to the threshold speed of 152 kt and target a touchdown point nearer the aim point to reduce the 5.1 m lateral offset. Maintaining these adjustments will help keep the landing within optimal parameters while preserving the high overall score.
