Narrative:

Flying VFR visibility unrestricted conducting localizer FMS approach to ege. Inside candu fully configured for landing; on localizer and on VNAV path; autopilot on aircraft pitched over prior to barza but remained on VNAV path with autopilot on and autothrottles on. Experienced a quartering right tailwind resulting in a higher than normal ground speed. Approaching barza airspeed picked up to ref plus 15 with throttles at idle. [I] advised student to use speed brakes. At that time GPWS warning 'terrain' went off shortly followed by 'pull up'. We were visual with the terrain and on VNAV path and vertical track error 0 (prog page 2); so we continued on path. Barza is not in the legs page so I don't know what altitude I crossed barza. [We] continued to an uneventful landing.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A B757 Check Airman reported a GPWS warning approaching BARZA on the FMS LOC approach to EGE in VMC. A quartering tailwind had been encountered resulting in increased airspeed to stay on the vertical path. With the terrain and airport in sight the approach was continued to landing.
