What is the special difficulty about that visual approach?
Speed on short final was the problem looks like, what has it to do with the VAP?
I don't think it is particularly difficult. However, i've seen some struggle.
Particularly those with a bias towards heavy automation use. An unstable final approach can begin with a rushed preparation.
1. If the approach is not in the database. Then figure out how to build it.
2. Decide what mode to use - LNAV/VNAV then IAN ? All LNAV/VNAV ? Look out the window ?
3. The recommended 1900' altitude at the bridge leaves the aircraft about 300 feet high on a 3 degree glide slope. Close to the runway. Were they hurrying to get down ?
