It was a visual approach.

Have you flown HUD? Are you familiar with the symbology such as the airspeed "worm" on the wingtip of the flightpath vector, the glidepath reference line, etc?

Why do you apparently think that the pilots should have duplicated/recited the same automatic callouts provided by the EGPWS?

How do you know the checklist was rushed? -- sounded to me like gear was down and flaps fully configured prior to the beginning of the video.

Engineering test pilots, not production test pilots.

What does "GASH" mean, anyway?
