S.F.L.Y. - the a/c was at Vref 135 kts, on a/p, on g/s, when the engines reduced to a power setting less than demanded but slightly above idle.

Obviously the a/c slowed. At approx. 115 kts the flaps were retracted from 30 to 25.

At approx. 105 kts, with no more airspeed to sacrifice to stay on g/s, the a/c started to sink below g/s and the a/p disconnected. Speed stabilized at approx. 100-105 kts.

The FDR readout is on page 6 of this report -
