id totally agree with the last points. I can land reasonably well without any callouts. In the flare I'm eyeballing it. But the cadence of the calls help me to fine tune it.
The relevance of the 2500 call is vital for SA. Why am I getting the 2500 call now when I'm still 20 miles out (I'm not saying it has happened to me.....yet). Having an awareness of when you should get the call will save someone's ass one day.
