1. Knock off 1MPH for every 80LBS your actual weight is under gross from the POH approach speeds.
2. Pitch for speed, power for altitude.
3. When hitting ground effect and round out look 300yards down runway for height judgement.
4. Get that stall warning blaring/ get the yoke back into your belly, and wait for the touchdown.
5. Don't overthink it, it'll pretty much land itself.

Edit to add: Have it trimmed correctly for each circuit leg and flap setting, i.e. every time you adjust the flaps adjust the trim.
