Reminds me a bit of the debate after the Schipol crash. As I pointed out then a stabilised approach is important in avoiding this kind of thing happening. I would be amazed if the final report does not show a similar degree of the crew getting behind the aircraft.

I am interested why they sailed through the MDA.....maybe they were above profile (or thought you were), took out the autopilot and sailed through the MDA and below the profile, maybe they had set the minimum for the ILS the other side? Either way it seems to indicate a serious loss of situational awareness.
