Just as another thought especially at high level and if you are lucky enough to have an AOA Gauge that is by far the best. Use the autopilot trim which will allow you to make small adjustments while monitoring the AOA gauge and using that as your guide.
Going to Jets the higher levels are where your concentration is required most and especially in the Citations which are not great climbers in the mid 30s its a matter of coaxing a climb to what you can relevant to weight or levelling , building speed and using that energy to help in a step climb.
But to turn your attention to wind charts at those highly sensitive levels is asking for trouble as the guy in the incident report above found out.
