Narrative:
Captain was flying to hnl. ATC gave us a tight vector for the lda DME runway 26L approach. We visually acquired the airport. ATC assigned runway 26R after we were inside of heftl. Captain maneuvered the aircraft for a visual approach to runway 26R. At approximately 600 ft AGL we got the 'go around; windshear ahead' warning one time. The captain elected to continue the approach. Simultaneously; I called out 'on speed' and sink rate 900 ft/min. Shortly after we got a 'sink rate' warning I called out 'airspeed' twice; as the airspeed reached the amber foot. The captain immediately took corrective action by arresting the sink rate and returning to approach speed. The aircraft touched down toward the end of the touchdown zone. The captain made a normal landing and rollout. Close in vectors by ATC; limited visibility in volcano smog; shifting winds. Due to the lower visibility in volcano smog conditions and the captain's lack of experience in the aircraft it may have been more advisable to continue the approach to runway 26L rather than maneuvering for runway 26R.

Title: ACR FO REPORTS UNSTABILIZED VISUAL APPROACH AFTER RWY CHANGE FROM RWY 26L TO RWY 26R AT HNL.
Narrative: CAPT WAS FLYING TO HNL. ATC GAVE US A TIGHT VECTOR FOR THE LDA DME RWY 26L APCH. WE VISUALLY ACQUIRED THE ARPT. ATC ASSIGNED RWY 26R AFTER WE WERE INSIDE OF HEFTL. CAPT MANEUVERED THE ACFT FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 26R. AT APPROX 600 FT AGL WE GOT THE 'GO AROUND; WINDSHEAR AHEAD' WARNING ONE TIME. THE CAPT ELECTED TO CONTINUE THE APCH. SIMULTANEOUSLY; I CALLED OUT 'ON SPEED' AND SINK RATE 900 FT/MIN. SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT A 'SINK RATE' WARNING I CALLED OUT 'AIRSPEED' TWICE; AS THE AIRSPEED REACHED THE AMBER FOOT. THE CAPT IMMEDIATELY TOOK CORRECTIVE ACTION BY ARRESTING THE SINK RATE AND RETURNING TO APCH SPEED. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN TOWARD THE END OF THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE. THE CAPT MADE A NORMAL LNDG AND ROLLOUT. CLOSE IN VECTORS BY ATC; LIMITED VISIBILITY IN VOLCANO SMOG; SHIFTING WINDS. DUE TO THE LOWER VISIBILITY IN VOLCANO SMOG CONDITIONS AND THE CAPT'S LACK OF EXPERIENCE IN THE ACFT IT MAY HAVE BEEN MORE ADVISABLE TO CONTINUE THE APCH TO RWY 26L RATHER THAN MANEUVERING FOR RWY 26R.
