If you are too busy on landing to watch an AoA indicator you must
therefore be too busy to watch an airspeed indicator.

How on earth do you get that? The ASI is one of the things which
occupies my time on the approach. If I have to watch an AoA indicator
it will have to be instead of something else.

I don't have much
time in gliders but in my powered plane, I usually glance at the ASI as
I level the wings on final, then I just use visual (and wind noise)
references to make the landing with an occasional glance at ASI as I
start the roundout and flare.

Yes, that's how I do it. What would you not do in order to watch an
AoA indicator?
