Hmmm... In over 850 landings, I honestly can't remember ever referring
to the altimeter while landing. On approach in the soup? Of course...
but never during a visual approach. That's what the windows are for...


I check the radio altimeter occasionally during instrument landings, and more
often if the weather is IMC.
