“SPEED, SPEED, SPEED” Warning

Anybody know why AB decided to call this warning by that name? Wouldn’t it have been more accurate to call it, “POWER, POWER, POWER” since it is a power (low energy) issue rather than a speed issue?

I think I have heard that warning maybe three times over the past seven years, one of which was when flying the transition to 5R at MMMX. The co-pilots response was to increase selected speed by 10 knots. Ofcourse that was the wrong response. Which got me thinking about the human factors aspect of AB naming this warning, “SPEED, SPEED, SPEED” when it is really a power issue.

A little nit picking day for me here at home
