Too many F/O's that I fly with treat it as a fly by numbers exercise by applying X amount of rudder with Y amount of aileron rather than look out the window and modify their control inputs to keep it tracking along the centreline.
That is my experience as well. I don’t think it’s their fault , they are the product of a training system that hammers the pilot out of them pretty quick if they let it. I would hazard a guess that around 50% of the younger pilots I fly with on the 737 are looking (at least momentarily) at their instruments while below 50ft on a normal landing. The question is why?
