Shocking but results as I expected...It has been a while for me since I flew this bird, but if I'm correct you can derive from this info that they were not flying the approach in the APP mode. They never captured the GS at the FAF since it was descending throught the GS. In what A/T mode were they flying then? What about the A/T underspeed protection? GS capture (from above) automatically diverts the A/T in MCP SPD mode (with underspeed protection..)
As I recall the only reason that you can't move the Levers manually forward (without being retarded by the A/T back the same time) is because some MCP parameters haven't been met yet. Well for shore it wasn't the speed (40 below Vref)
We are missing some critical info in this first report...
