Like any landings during flare I only look outside. At this stage only the PM is looking inside to check the pitch.
Even when I’m flying with FDs, I stopped following them when approaching the minimum. Primary reference are visual references like the Papi. Following blindly the FD bars below minimum during ILS CAT 1 might not be the smartest idea due to possible LOC and G/S fluctuations.
