Flare aiming point A320
Which is better during flare and during take off to pick a point at the end of the runway or to pick a point fairly ahead of the aircraft nose. (I am talking here about the line of sight point)

Shift your eyes around a bit, especially as you close in on the runway; try to identify objects of fairly consistent size (buildings, cars, rubber stains, light fixtures etc, and shift your view between close and far. In general, if you look predominantly too far down the runway, you will tend to flare late; if you look predominantly too close to the nose, you will tend to flare early. Don't fixate
