Amongst others:
1. Fly the correct speed. Ignore the well intentioned numbers mentioned above. Look in the books for the stall speed in landing config. and execute the final approach at that speed, times 1.3. The ASI will give a clue at Max Landing weight in so much that the bottom of the white arc will be the stall speed in landing config.
2. Trim the plane.
3. Don't mess about too much with the attitude or power. Try and leave them constant until they actually need altering.
4. When you flare, look at the far end of the strip. Let your brain do the flaring, autonomously.
5. Finger tip pressure on the control column, no white knuckles!
6. Any landing in the right place at the right speed (right way up) without too much of wallop is a brilliant landing. Greasy landings done at high speed or too low a speed and/or in the wrong place are those performed by wers.
Have fun practicing!
