It would be interesting to set up a GoPro to observe pilot eye movement during flare and landing. There are three visual assessments to be simultaneously and continuously accomplished: aircraft attitude, height and centreline tracking. The former requires looking ahead and the latter two are achieved . . . how? Momentary glances to the side or peripheral vision or a combination of both?
