So at three miles they are at a 1000' with the speed 'decreasing steadily'. A mile on they are at 470' and 68kts. That is getting very close to levelling off just above minima of 300'. I wonder what mode selection was happening in those final moments. Coupling to Alt would presumably increase the nose up pitch as the autopilot attempted to level the aircraft. Or would the autopilot have any effect at all by then?

Plate here if it hasn't been linked to before:
