When the voice says 'Forty', check back slightly on the stick and hold that slight stick-force. The rear wheels will kiss the ground and no-one will notice. Then,

the 330 has four stages in the landing:

- rear pairs touch;
- forward pairs touch followed (swiftly, probably) by
- weight on the oleos ( you can't miss that bit)
- nose-leg touch when you FLY it down to the rwy surface remembering that it is about - 2 degrees fuselage angle, so it takes a while to get there.

Happy landings.
