Is there any airspeed data during the first approach ?
Since speed break extention will increase VLS significantly, especially during approach (The aircraft is in low airspeed state that VLS is always close to you), pilots won’t be able to use full speed break when airspeed is at or below green dot speed, then the only way to increase descent rate is to lower the landing gear. Or pilots have to increase airspeed in OPN DES mode combined more speed break extention. In my personal experence, when airspeed is 250kts without speed break extention in OPN DES mode, the descent rate won’t be more than 3000 fpm. But according to the data above in 0932Z, decent rate is unbelivably more than 6000 fpm, and METAR shows WX is good that moment. So the airspeed information can be a clue to know the gear is lowered or not during the
first approach.
