VS 2.3-2.5, idle, boards, monitor and change VS to maintain 250 knots.

I'd be careful with the Chinese glide path. On the 145 I used to fly, many times the left and right sides would be split full scale deflection in opposite directions. The legacy FMC on the 74 doesn't do much better. Nothing beats doing the mental gymnastics to back up your automation. I use 3:1 as a ballpark, and adjust from there.

One guy threw out gear and flaps 30 on the downwind, I think we saw 4800 fpm briefly. That was a bit much, though.

Whee doggie!!
