Flare A320, is looking far away useless?
Hello,
I ask to many more experienced people like you. During my first 500hrs I always did what the textbook says. Approaching the threshold look away. My flare has always been quite average, because as soon as I looked away I was tempted to break the attitude so I had to consciously avoid.
recently I flew with an instructor that told me that looking away is definitely non sense and normally those people that teach this don’t do this when they land themselves. The idea is too keep looking towards the fat markers aiming point because in this way you are able to assess closure rate and height properly. Looking away is good only to destablize the approach. My flare has improved I see. Do you agree with his words?
