I would say the whole sequence of post TOD late, high speed, high profile, gear down later 500 ft gear up, flaps overspeed, GPWS, no landing checklist, ignored warnings, et al is complete madness. That has to be the most botched descent and approach ever? Why was this madness approach not abandoned earlier, or at least at PAPI. No landing checklist? - right, no time? Incompetence in both seats hardly addresses the errors made in this approach. Distraction of COVID-19 - I don't buy that. For sure no pilot intends to crash even on this approach but what made them think they could make this landing work? So at 500 ft FO raises the landing gear and the captain continues the descent and flare without the FO intervention? I can't believe it would be the reverse. Tragic.
