All the above advice is right on. The main thing though is to GET STABILIZED before 300AGL. Sorry for shouting, but thats how it seems to be in the airplane everytime I teach it to a new student. Have it set up and stabilized by the time you turn final. Full Flaps and 60 kts. Use the 1000ft markers as your point, and aim for the centerline stripe just this side of the markers. When the end of that stripe goes under the nose, take the power out and let the ink dry on your temp before you put it in the wallet.
