Sorry typing error. Off course it was 1990. Just to elucidate further they had SPEED, ALT* some where near the minima and here PF asked for 1000ft V/S. Later PF asked for 700ft V/S but PNF got involved in setting up missed approach ALT and an ATC call and by mistake set 700 ft. on ALT SEL and activated OP DES. The PF (under check) switched off his FD without informing the PNF(check captain). So PNF's FD and OP DES remained active. Then onwards PF was followed visual flight path with dropping speed. Even after this mistake everything would have been fine if the other FD was switched off. But the fact remains they did not check the speed till they crashed. The last words were "Hey we are going down" but nothing about speed.
