I am confused, that's all. At 2:10:05 and M0.8 there was a L Up input with a warning and a massive drop off in IAS. At 2:10:16 a climb started, increased to 7000fpm then reduced to 700fpm with an increase in ALT of 2500ft by 2:10:50 at M0.68.

So in 34 seconds at 7000fpm you could achieve a 4000ft increase in ALT. But surely you have to start the climb and then reduce it to 700fpm too, all within 34 seconds, whilst still having a forward speed of M0.68 and all from all from energy contained within the airframe.
