My comfort zone is usually below minimum I focus outside and scan 10%. Target the aiming point , use PAPI, and and keep a steady descent angle.
However due to a lot of people I fly with, which order me to follow FD/GS below minima, I tend to fixate on it and the aiming point, usually forgetting to look at the far end of RWY to judge sink and flare input.
Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't landing a visual maneuver? FCTM says when near the ground focus should be on attitude and sink rate, which I normally follow, however due to some people I am paranoid about my FD/GS when near the ground.
Landing is a visual manoeuvre but low visibility, rain etc can create illusions. So if at minimum you are correctly place with GS and ROD then you shouldn't be requiring major flight path change. A glance at GS will ensure that but mainly looking outside going towards the aiming point.
