When landing don't flair early. If you have automatic height callout wait until after the 20ft call (15ft) then close the thrust levers and give a very slight pullback (little more that holding the back pressure). The aircraft will land smoothly without excessive nose up attitude. Rounding out closer to 30ft gives a nose high landing attitude; when the spoilers come out the nose then goes higher still.

It's all in the Training Manual.
