There is something screwy with the animation. It shows no thrust mode annunciation, then changes to FMC SPEED just before 2,500’. At that time VNAV PATH drops out, the change box shows, but is empty. There is no vertical mode annunciation from that point onwards. The commander speed setting shows ‘0’ until below the minima & changes from 0 to 139kts at that time. There are no FMC derived speed bugs for the flap settings. Also, ROLLOUT briefly shows just before they hit the water. That was with FD displayed, as the autopilot had been disengaged. It should only be displayed on an auto land. The indicated altitude is below the rad alt & they are over water, so one wonders if the QNH is correct. And finally, the video shows all the MCP displays flashing, which is not normal.

Maybe their setup is different to ones I fly, but it does look a bit screwy.
