l think it is the copilot who is calling out the numbers. ''Plus ten'' means ''Vref speed plus ten knots,'' Vref being the calculated landing speed for touchdown.

It is speed in relation to Vref (approach speed). Say Vref was 140 KIAS, then a ''plus 10'' callout would be made if the pilot was at 150 KIAS. l do not know for sure, but l would not be surprised if pilots kept their speed up a bit on the Hong Kong approach in the video because of the large margin for error. That could be the reason the pilot seemed to fly +10 the whole way.

He is calling out the difference in knots between the indicated airspeed and the approach speed.
