To previous poster: Then you know nothing about windy conditions. I totally agree that an alarm would be ideal, but it would be highly impractical. As you get closer to ground, the wind will decrease. So, when should this system start to work? And what about gusts? I often see wind above limits till the last, say 2-300 feet. On the 737, I keep FMC prog page 2 open, just to have a glance before flare. But it's rarely of any use because if it's at limits you'll be quite busy and not having either guts, nor the capacity to look down.
