That's pretty damn severe, especially for a sub-sonic trainer. About 7 times what a Cessna is rated for.
I'm guessing it just doesn't have the power to simply go nose up and rocket without running out of inertia and stalling. It looks like a maneuverable little thing but doesn't seem like it's incredibly powerful.

Performance isn’t usually published in m/s. It’s usually meters or feet per minute, hence my error.
A fun side fact. F-16s and SU-27s climb around 75,000 feet per minute. You won’t find an official number, though. Secrets and stuff.
