Approximately 30-50'
Quote from FCTM:
When the threshold passes under the airplane nose and out of sight, shift the visual
sighting point to the far end of the runway
. Shifting the visual sighting point assists
in controlling the pitch attitude during the flare. Maintaining a constant airspeed
and descent rate assists in determining the flare point. Initiate the flare when the
main gear is approximately 20 feet above the runway by increasing pitch attitude
approximately 2° - 3°. This slows the rate of descent.
