. . I really admire experten who are so multitasking capable they are able to check continuously their speed below 50RA and perform windshear escape outta flare. I hope some day I'll be like them.
Ha ha, I like your brand of irony. That said, many inexperienced pilots do try and do exactly this. Whatever happened to coming into the flare at the correct speed ... then just looking out of the window at the attitude, using the seat of the pants, stick and trust, and landing it like any other plane, (mitigating gusts and dips with usual control inputs) It seems just when the Airbus finally gives the pilot full direct control, it induces a mild state of panic!
