The 900ER is still big foot really. Keep power on longer and land it flat very little pitch up. It looks weird but seems to work. 700 flaps 40 keep power on whole way down. I find 800 a breeze to land.
7/800 Flaps 40 is a pain to try to grease on. Sluggish, at idle the nose just drops, pull back just a tiny bit much and it balloons. All this on a short runway.
Haven't heard any secrets to nailing a 40 landing yet. Only time I saw a pretty one, it was me and it was a total accident, lucky recovery from what would have been a banger!
Any guppy flaps 30 seems to be a breeze.
