I can echo excrab's comments about pitch and flap 15 landings on the 400 - not a problem, unlike the uncomfortable approach and carrier-style Flap 35 landing technique that some Flybe trainers (the newer ones) seem to teach!

Speed freak - if you feel your rate of descent is a little too high just add a tiny squeeze of power in the flare to slow the descent rate, and I mean tiny, literally around 1cm of power lever movement. Alternatively, just be a few knots over Vref.
