LNIDA is absolutely spot on - I used to teach 250 hour guys/girls on their first commercial aircraft/jets and these were the issues every time.

Not being disrespectful but a quick reread of "Exercise 13" can really help - they all fly the same way give or take. When we get into the bigger stuff we tend to, initially, rely too much on the numbers

Keep working on feel and whilst the numbers can help i.e. rad alt call outs etc, it's feel that will help on the dark, horrible, rainy night stuff.

- I'd add, without getting into performance discussions, think about the weight of the aircraft and, therefore, how fast you close the thrust levers (all other things being equal e.g being on speed, sink rate et all). For example, with a heavy weight aircraft consider closing the thrust levers just a Little (capital L) bit slower.
