I've never failed a check flight or simulator session for the following.

FMC scratchpad message: "MORE DRAG REQUIRED"

Common sense tells me to fly the aircraft where I want it to be flown & correct the flight path, speed or configuration. Maybe even ask for a speed waiver.

If I do that, the message will disappear.

However my QRH CHECKLIST INTRODUCTION chapter or company procedure indicates I should be calling for the "FMC MESSAGE NON NORMAL CHECKLIST".

Same logic applies to a overspeed, fly the aircraft first.
