Intruder says it all. For a constant angle final approach in still air conditions, you need a combination of power and pitch - get it right early on and you won't need to vary either, but remember that an increase in power will result in an increase in pitch and vice-versa. After a few attempts on the simulator, it will become secon-nature.
Glueball is quite correct in the demonstration of an autoland.
