THE PERSON IN THE RIGHT SEAT, WHO HAD CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT, WAS A STUDENT PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^. THE CAPT. TOLD THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THAT THEY WERE HIGH AND FAST AND THEY NEEDED TO GET DOWN AND SLOW DOWN THE AIRCRAFT. AT THIS TIME, THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ HANDED CONTROL BACK OVER TO THE CAPT. THE CAPT. LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR AND SET THE FLAPS TO APPROACH AND STARTED A STEEP APPROACH ANGLE TO GET BACK ON GLIDE PATH. AIRSPEED WAS 165 KTS, AND SLOWING, WHEN THE GROUND PROXIMITY AURAL WARNING SYSTEM ANNOUNCED, "SINK RATE ,  PULL UP". THE CAPT. CONTINUED THE APPROACH, TOUCHING DOWN AT 130 KTS ON A WET RUNWAY AND APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY.
