Good pilots don't have to look at their airspeed because they can feel the airplane during the final flare. The throttle is always there if you have a wind shear so you can fix it.

I don't think any competent pilot would be looking at his airspeed in a flare. I never have in 23,000 hrs. You can see and feel the shear if it happens and fix it.

I have never had a problem fixing a shear problem but have never flown an automatic airplane either.
