sorry, jumped the gun this is old.

But interesting... How on earth is it possible that a glider pilot
fixes his eyes on the altimeter during the landing?

I feel reinforced in my practice to "unsetting" the altimeter on
training flights and telling my students not to use it, but to judge
from outside view.
