So during a manual landing, a correct flare (pitch) as judge by you with reference to the outside visual cue should also match the FDs?
Pretty much yeah. Obviously there are small differences in everyone’s technique and what not, but yeah pretty much. Autolands tend to be slightly on the firmer side so you might be a fraction of a degree higher up compared to the FDs.
More importantly, during an auto land, you’d expect to see the FDs pretty perfectly followed.
