I am not excatly sure what you mean but here's my advice.

If you have flown a Cessna the Warrior 1 doesn't float like the Cessna does. I always maintain 65-70 knots on final with a trickle of power (around 1000-1200RPM). That provides a nice final descent profile.

65 knots on short final and then a slighly more "fly it on approach" for roundout. If your airspeed is too high during the flare it will of course float like a Cessna
