Wink strg+c strg+v....don't u love it?

During autothrottle operation, when on final approach in landing configuration,
it is not recommended to set the A/T command speed to allow for wind or gust
corrections. Through airspeed and acceleration sensing, the A/T corrects for
normal wind gusts. Higher command speed settings result in excessive
approach speeds. The A/T approach speed setting is Vref +5.
