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
This is to bring your attention to low speed condition. Then it’s up to you - to push it down or to increase power. The latter can potentially aggravate situation due to pitch up moment.
