Face it, flying a jet has very little to do with visual cub piloting...
Part of being a jet pilot, I would guess and actually, the PFD is always in our line of vision and scanning it is an acquired technique...A second nature
Lemurian, I was a bit intrigued by your way to handle your performance books … but I must say you put yourself in a very special category here …
Are you flying single pilot
Lemurian ?
Because the guy on your side is a Monitoring Pilot, his job is to
monitor you and as part of your Standard Operation Procedures he should call you if your BANK or PITCH are approaching the limits.
During flare, I'm afraid, it is not time to look anywhere else … than
outside !
Is there really a need to add anything to
here ... or to the following:

Lemurian, would you recognize these words ?
In order to assess the rate of descent in the flare, and the aircraft position relative to the ground, look well ahead of the aircraft
During the flare, the pilot should not concentrate on the airspeed, but only on the attitude with external cues
Specific PM call outs have been reinforced for excessive pitch attitude at landing
They are part of your Airbus Flight Crew Training Manual ...
