I share the sentiments of a lot on this thread. The flare and landing can be quite elusive and embarassing. My technique on the A380 is to monitor the call out. At 40' (give or take) One's eyes are out to the far end and the flare begins ending at about the 20' call and watching the sink rate. A little more or a little less will account for wind conditions. I share the same sentiment about idling the thrust levers, it should be done qiute expeditiously as you begin the flare or you will be eating up precious runway. Reversers should be deployed forthwith or the braking action will rely entirely on brakes with heat build up. The A380 is unforgiving wrt brake heat build up. Manual brakes goes a long way to eliminate this for quick turn around limits. We don't have brake fans. She sits quite majestically. Alot of ground effect. Hope this helps.
