In a previous article, "AJ" said:
One of the pages on that website has recordings of cockpit warning
sounds. I'm not a commercial pilot, but still these make sense to me
except for "Altitude loss after takeoff or go-around." The recording
is of a voice that says "don't ... think." Can someone tell me why
those words were chosen for that situation? (Such a command is a
natural for me.)


Are you sure it's not saying "high sink (rate)" or something like that?
