The Turkish 738 accident in AMS was caused by a erroneous Rad Alt driving the Auto Thrust to Idle.
This was a 'factor', not the cause. The cause was the failure by the flight crew to monitor & maintain the correct airspeed.

There is an aviation commandment from way back in the early 1900's that goes like this - "Often shalt thou confirm thine airspeed on final, lest the earth rise up and smite thee."
