If that's true it fits with the deal of not letting this thing get slow. I could certainly see how it could happen especially if on a visual or non precision approach with low vis. They probably got preoccupied, let it get slow with an unrecognized or unchecked decent rate... Maybe the fix is just to have instructors keep a 2x4 or a bullhorn handy in the Sim... Bummer
