Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 134 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 39 kt fast at 173 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt in the climb
Arrival
Arrest the excessive sink rate on approach promptly with pitch and power to re-establish a stable approach path.
What happened: The approach carried an excessive sink rate at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft crossed the threshold at 90 kt against a VREF of 80 kt, 10 kt fast. An excessive sink rate on approach usually carries extra speed through to the threshold.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a stable, controlled descent rate on approach
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,452 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,758 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 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 09 at SVBM Barquisimeto International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09, the TBM 930 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 95 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 711 m, which represented 25 % of the runway; local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C, wind 2 kt from 69°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of SVBM Barquisimeto International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,707 ft asl to 7,032 ft asl, an increase of 4,325 ft achieved in 5 minutes while covering 19 nm.
The first level cruise began 6 miles east of Yaritagua (Estado Yaracuy, Venezuela) and continued for 67 minutes, during which the flight covered 271 nm.
Descent started 23 miles south-west of SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport, Barcelona (Estado Anzoategui, Venezuela), with the aircraft descending from 7,393 ft asl to 3,091 ft asl, a loss of 4,302 ft in 5 minutes while traversing 18 nm.
A second level cruise was initiated 12 miles south-east of SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport and lasted 3 minutes, covering 9 nm.
The final approach to runway 33 at SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport was flown from the south-east, on a heading of 323.0° at 4 nm and 1,797 ft agl.
Landing on runway 33 was executed with a runway length of 2,758 m; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 90 kt, touchdown occurred 69 m beyond the touchdown zone at 79 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 153 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good, local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C, wind 0 kt from 360°, with no crosswind or headwind.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 865 m, representing 31 % of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 323 nm, took 88 minutes, and consumed 265 kg of fuel.
The TBM 930, scored 98.0 %, made a final approach to runway 33 at SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport from the south-east on a heading of 323.0° at 4 nm and 1 797 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1 000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 90 kt. The aircraft touched down 69 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed a little fast at 79 kt and a touchdown rate good at minus 153 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Touchdown occurred 69 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 79 kt that was a little fast, with a vertical rate of minus 153 fpm and very good alignment to the runway centreline.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 865 m, representing 31 % of the 2 758 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten performance, aim for the target threshold speed rather than the slightly high 90 kt and reduce touchdown speed a few knots to better match the expected VREF, while maintaining the excellent alignment and rollout characteristics already demonstrated.
