Hello all and thank you for the thoughtful responses. As I mentioned in the previous post I have experimented with the sight picture during approach and landing. When the boss is landing -I am a lowly FO
. I have tried looking at the end of the runway from 100 feet and 200 feet. Makes for a very funny sight picture if you are not used to it! Eye shift at 50 feet is what I have been doing and works well for me. Something one of my captains said made me wonder if a technique of sighting the runway a bit higher would be helpful in max crosswinds and other difficult approaches? Yes, I will continue to stick to the FOM recommended procedure and thanks for looking that up. Great forum and I appreciate the help. Very interesting to hear what works for others.
