Would this specific instruction include full flaps abeam the numbers? With

Apparently people with much more Beechcraft experience than I assert
that on-off-on is hard on that flap motor. The piano keys certainly
aren't designed to facilitate that method, either.

You get used to it. The switch will probably fail long before the
flap motor.
