I'm not AA. We rarely do flaps 30 landings, soI've done no more than 3 flaps 30 landings this year. With the technique I talked about, getting flaps 30 and being on speed at target is easier than a flaps 25 landing since there's actually a bit of drag on the wing.
Do you have the RR engines? We have pratts, and I always thought they had a higher idle and less drag than the RR...maybe I'm wrong.
