There can be lots of distractions on an approach, but it is down to the crew to handle them, and particularly a TC who SHOULD be aware of the pitfalls. It is indeed possible that things were a bit 'rushed' - AMS is like that, you cope. It is also possible the cabin crew were late with the cabin secure in view of the compression in actual time to landing. Jumpseater possibly asking questions/talking etc. The radalt problem. Possible new Captain in training. Other unknown factors. Once again, all the ingredients are there, it just should not have happened. We still, of course, need 'the facts' and not some translated Dutch press briefing.
