Reading the report, specially this part:
The airspeed reduced as the autopilot attempted to
maintain the ILS glide slope and by 200 ft the airspeed
had reduced to about 108 kt. The autopilot disconnected
at approximately 175 ft, the aircraft descended rapidly
and its landing gear made contact with the ground some
1,000 ft short of the paved runway surface
they owe a lot to keeping the autopilot on (and its design as well)!
That way all possible energy was used up to its full extend, bringing the aircraft within the airport perimeter.
I don't think a human could have done it better, probably not, as a pilot would have unconsciously lowered the nose.
