R22: Flare, flare more, level off *, collective up, run on, be ready to be very quick with the feet.

* and have always been surprised how much "level off" is required. Have had it stressed to me that landing on the back of the skids (as is my tendancy until the CFI interjects!) is a bad thing - a/c will roll forward. Landing on the front of the skids is much better - they are like a sledge and will sort themselves out.
