-on SE APP do not change the PITCH after visual contact with the RWY , it is higier than on both engines
Why is this?
On a s/e approach the speed is higher than two engines (max flap 15) therefore Vref is higher. I agree about about not changing pitch, dont worry about doing a "greaser"

My hints are :-
Keep it trimmed in pitch (little and often]
Positive (large) throttle movement when not at the correct parameters, esp if low/slow.
Small throttle movements when on the approach, as trim changes a lot with changes in power.
If its not looking good, GO AROUND.
I expect some more hints will turn up.
Most of the above applies to most jet transports
Good luck.
