1,400' V/S to capture the G/S at 1,330'.
Final flap set done at 990'. Engine not spooled up.
When did they complete the Before Landing Checklist?
Does Turkish Airline have a stabilized approach criteria?
If they were stable at 1,000' with check list done.
This would have been a nonevent / with 3 man crew
Stable at 1,000'
would have given them more time to be more observant and call out:
"SPEED" on the ASI
"IDLE" on the FMA
Or realized that the thrust lever was in the unusual position (index unit)
