That "what's going on?" part indicates 2 possibilities....

1) The pilot noob switch open lift dump.
2) Electrical malfunction cause lift dump activate.

My money is on the later.

well im no pilot or aviation folks, just reading the report for funsies.
the report conclusion & appendix do say primary cause is pilot error. report also say Pilot is not sitting on the pilot seat (instead he seat on the co-pilot's seat, while the co-pilot sitting on the pilot's seat), both are not sufficiently experienced for this aircraft model. SIC is second-in-command, referring to the co-pilot, and the co-pilot seems to be the one controlling the plane.
primary cause: SIC switched on lift dump during landing approach, lost altitude
additional findings; insufficient crew training

reading further on the report amendments section can see the company did tried to deflect/argue that it's not company's fault
