You may not get it, so you should also be thinking of what you'll do if you don't. When I transitioned from a C172 to a Bonanza with it much faster cruise speed, this point was drilled into my head by the previous owner of the aircraft and the instructor who endorsed me. Quite so. In fact, EVERYTHING you do when transitioning to HP aircraft has to be thought out much further in advance. Analogy: When taking the Bondurant High Speed Driving Course the instructor said, "Now you're driving 120 instead of 60, so you're twice as fast, but you need to be thinking four times as far ahead." He also said (withour reference) that the average driver on the highways is looking no more than 100 feet ahead.
