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 2,997 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 328 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TBM-930 taxied from the parking area to runway 11 at TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 11, the aircraft used 693 m of runway (28 % of the available length) and lifted off at 99 kt; ambient temperature was 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 060°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 761 ft asl to 4 499 ft asl-a gain of 3 738 ft-in 5 minutes while covering 21 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began 11 nm south of the departure airport, lasted 32 minutes and spanned 137 nm.
Descent started 49 nm south-east of Tucupita, dropping from 4 491 ft asl to 2 500 ft asl, a loss of 1 991 ft in 3 minutes over 14 nm.
A second cruise leg originated 2 nm north-west of Manoa, persisted for 20 minutes and covered 84 nm.
The next descent began 10 nm south-east of SVGT Guasipati Airport, decreasing altitude from 2 388 ft asl to 1 499 ft asl-a reduction of 889 ft-in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
A brief cruise segment started 11 nm west of SVTM Tumeremo Airport, lasted 3 minutes and encompassed 10 nm.
Final approach to runway 08 at SVTM Tumeremo Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 66.0° at 1 nm and 620 ft agl; the aircraft then descended from 1 148 ft agl to 257 ft agl in 88 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 08 was achieved with a threshold speed of 88 kt; touchdown occurred 326 m down the runway at 78 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 99 fpm and perfect runway-alignment; local conditions were 26 °C, wind 2 kt from 065°, zero cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind; total landing distance was 670 m (22 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect, and the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 280 nm, required 70 minutes of elapsed time and consumed 239 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 08 at SVTM Tumeremo Airport was conducted from the south-west on a heading of 66.0 ° at 1 nm and 620 ft agl, descending from 1,148 ft agl to 257 ft agl in 88 seconds. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the flaps were not set, the aircraft was off the glideslope and more than 20 kt above VREF.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 88 kt. The flare produced a touchdown distance that was good at 326 m, although the touchdown speed of 78 kt was noted as a little fast.
Touchdown occurred with a rate of minus 99 fpm, which was rated excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 670 m, representing 22 % of the 2,997 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
To improve the score, ensure the approach is stabilized by setting flaps and maintaining speed within VREF before the 1,000 ft gate, and refine flare technique to reduce touchdown speed to the target range.
