I find the radio altimeter call out to be extremely helpful when landing. The countdown 50, 40 etc gives me a feel how fast the airplane approaches the tarmac and when to flare. If you donīt have a call out but a radio altimeter then have the PNF make the call outs. Since we land at all sorts of runways, short and long, wide and narrow, aiming at a certain point ahead of the plane wonīt always do the trick. This is especially true when landing on a runway which is short and doesnīt have the standard markings of an ILS runway.
