There isn't one. Each airline you have flown for must have customised the SOPs to insert this call. My airline is currently moving to full Airbus SOPs and we wanted to retain the NO FLARE call.

We asked Airbus for advice as surely the NO FLARE call is more useful than the FLARE call mandated by the raw Airbus SOPs. Their answer was that the flare will happen in more than 99.999% (there was an actual value given circa this figure) of autolands; hence the NO FLARE call has no value.

Furthermore what do you do when you hear NO FLARE, it's probably too late to do anything useful?
