Very good advice on here!

Although the CPL altitude tolerance is 100ft aim for perfection

nail airspeeds- near enough is not good enough
if you're over that threshold at the correct airspeed you should be able to know the exact timing of your touchdown- "round out to fly level, hold off hold off hold off"

Keep in balance-Right Rudder!

Situational Awareness- Make contact with nearby aircraft and no where they are at all times!

Clear your nose every 500ft on climb to clear blind spots

Make sure your checking Full rpm, airspeed increasing and temp green on T/O and check Flaps up, Oil temps/Press green and maintaining centreline 300ft AGL

Always park and turn into wind to avoid stone damage to your prop and full back elevator on dirt strips to raise nose and again avoid stone chips to the prop

Hope thats helpful.......oh and always be aware of where your wingtips are when taxying or pushing aircraft ,common mistake to damage wings on other a/c -hanger doors-trees ect.
