17. The captain’s difficulty maintaining his intended airspeed during the final approach resulted, in part, from high workload, stress, and task saturation.
Slightly off topic but.....
Probably much harder keeping a powerless C* aircraft on correct glide speed than one you can trim. For the C* aircraft (like the Airbus), about all you can do is set a nose low attitude and note the speed trend, then adjust from there and keep repeating the process.

For a a powerless jet that can be trimmed, trim to the desired speed, then avoid applying heavy forces on the yoke as you handle the rest of your problems.
