One thing about the A330s and A340s is that when having full flaps config (flaps 3), it looks like the flaps are extended way less than on for ex. on the B777.

Some A340 basic info:
During "normal" landings, you select flaps 2 and then select 160 kts. Then you select gears down and flaps 3 and select speed 140 kts. Then you should have a ROD of approximetly 700-800 fpm with a pitch of 4-5 degrees. If you go below 140 kts, the landing will most likely be a bit more firm.

I dont fly the A340 (only single engines now and then), so dont hang me if I am incorrect.
