But then, after all, it will fool a human exactly the same as the 757 discussed above:
Let's accept that the wonderful Airbus has an Achilles's heel in training a specially ungifted trainee about flare perception. So if trainer keeps flaring then trainee doesn't learn and if he doesn't then that can become the last landing before major maintenance. Also fracture of his disc is the least exciting thing a passenger is looking forward to. So since he has very poor judgement some safe guards have to be in place. He should not be executing the flare if the AC is not correctly placed with proper ROD at least from last 100ft. Any corrections required should be done by the trainer and then hand over for flare and landing. The second safe guard is at twenty feet RA call. Somebody needs to flare if not the trainee then the trainer himself. A small backward movement of the stick even without take over button and release will break the descent and touchdown anything around 400ft/mt. should be OK(no choice). Last every body doesn't have to be a pilot. May be the world is missing a genius in another field.
