Final report published

Crashed during approach, Boeing 737-800, Amsterdam Schiphol AIrport - De Onderzoeksraad voor veiligheid

Haven't read it yet but near the beginning:-

The Board concludes that the improper functioning of the left-hand radio altimeter system led to the thrust from both engines being reduced by the autothrottle to a minimal value too soon, ultimately causing too big a reduction in speed. The airspeed reached stall speed due to a failure of
monitoring the airspeed and pitch attitude of the aircraft and a failure to implement the approach to stall recovery procedure correctly. This resulted in a situation where the wings were no longer providing sufficient lift, and the aircraft crashed.
