Not really. Just fly an normal approach to your touchdown point. Usually these runways don't have any kind of approach path indicators, so you're eyeballing your descent. One thing that's important is to be ready to come in with a handful of power after touchdown to keep your momentum going. Getting stopped is no problem, but you definitely don't want to stop until you're on the parking area. Getting started again after stopping halfway up the runway would be a challenge.

Taking off you want to keep in mind to not pitch to a normal climb attitude to briskly on lift off, as it's a lot easier to drag the tail. It's really pretty odd to see your VSI showing 1000+ fpm down as your breaking ground.
