Human Factors; Procedure
MIA turned us just outside of INESS about 1.5 mi and cleared us for the visual. Captain was flying as I was trying to complete the checklist. Captain set 1;000 feet in ALT window and descended to just above 1;000 feet. Trying to complete my tasks; I looked up and noticed what I thought was over INESS and level 1;000 feet; VASI on left side of Runway was RED. I advised Captain not to descend any lower [and] at that time we received a below glideslope warning. Captain flew the aircraft back into glideslope and landed normally. At the gate; I asked if the Captain was going to file form; he thought it may not be required since it was a visual approach.I suggest be completely configured before turning on base this close in? Use combo G/S/VTI to landing.
MIA TRACON turned an Air Carrier to a MIA Runway 9 visual final about 4NM from the runway. The Captain set 1;000 feet in the MCP and descended too low but returned to the glideslope following an EGPWS Glideslope warning.
