Totally agree with Uplinker, less is definitely more when it comes to handflying an Airbus. Small, gentle nudges is all you need 99% of the time.

LOOK OUTSIDE! Small input, stop the input, check the change in pitch attitude and aim point. Scan inside to see new pitch attitude, speed trend, VSI, and power setting. Get the brain cells working on why you deviated and what impact, and trend, the new input had. Consider any new adjustments based off of what you learned from this cycle of scanning and flying.

You do that constantly until the last 20' or so when you fully transition to only looking at the runway.




Flying is easy, just like golf. Ever see the commercial about Tiger Woods talking about how easy it is to hit a golf ball? "Just hit it." And then he goes into about three dozen things to do with your alignment, minor adjustments, focus, balance, grip strength, hip turn, shoulder turn, club speed, etc, etc, etc. Like I said, flying is easy. It's the details that make the better pilot.
