Just happen to have recently finished the BA 777 accident report in LHR back in 2008. Now I am reading the merged PPrune thread about it. Just today I came across these interesting posts which if had been read and understood by the Asiana crew, might have prevented an accident...

"just a hunch from another angle, though not impossible. don't flame me. aircraft correcting from low on glidepath to slot on FLCH SPD mode? correction left too late? Capt handed control to Co-pilot on short finals. Why? Did Capt have to takeover and then hand over? Was co-pilot on training or a check? Did he goofed on FLCH SPD mode with throttle at idle. waiting for it to wake up to hold speed but did not, until a/c stall and too late to spool up manually. just speculation at another angle."

"No-one flies it at FLCH SPD at that stage on the approach"
