anthony - while the 'aiming points' may be of a high order of repetition, I doubt very much that the variables in the flare manoeuvre would cause a precise touchdown point.

Remember, of course, the Trident nosewheel was offset to avoid damage to the centreline lights due to the high precision of its autoland system.
