The 210 is an easy aeroplane to land. Just remember though it will feel different to land (as in the pitch force required to get the aircraft in the landing attitude) with a forward C of G as opposed to an aft C of G.
The rest is pretty much what morno suggested earlier. 75 kts down final and get the power off at roundout. If you don't, it will only lengthen the landing process and give youself more time to fcuk things up. By the way I retard the power all the way to idle regardless how heavy the aircraft is.
And when you do look down the end of the runway as someone above suggested, don't forget to note what attitude the aircraft is in (that's why we down the end in the first place).
If the attitude appears to be a bit on the flat side, do something about, apply a bit more back pressure on the yoke and keep the nose well and truly clear of the pavement. Works every time!
