Yes. Also watch out for speedtape confusion with flaps out. The red barber pole descends from above towards the target. Historically pilots are trained to fly the needle, not the scale behind it.

It can be reproduced in the sim.

But it is a scary read, thank you vilas. Namely the crew's recollection of NOT hearing any terrain warning.
