Same here. Landing Flaps 40 isn't much of a problem after you do enough of them. The muscle memory eventually figures is out. Unfortunately, I see a lot of pilots who stick with Flaps 30 because it is easier. I always encourage my new FO's to use Flaps 40 exclusively (conditions permitting) until they are comfortable with them because going from Flaps 40 to Flaps 30 is no problem. The same cannot be said of the reverse.
