@silverhawk:
What I meant by "as things happen a bit quicker... " is, IMO easy to understand, no advanced physics or so...
eg.:
CJ 2 travels at 6,6 NM / min, BE20 at 4,6nm/min (O-wind, ISA / FL280). I might need 2 minutes to get ATIS (eventually longer if eg in FRANCE) and pick the correct plate. Add another 2 minutes for briefing and nav setting, and the CJ2 is 8 nm ahead of the good old KingAir.(I travelled the distance QUICKER!!!/a seven jockey like you would say: a bit quicker)
I admit, my pen falls with the same speed to the cockpit floor (takes the same time)

If you fly in minutes instead of knots then nothing will take you by surprise. A minute always takes sixty seconds whether you're in a Blackbird or a C150.
More or less true, Al Einstein had a slightly different opinion, but he was no pilot, so to hell with it

All flights require planning
perfectly correct ! I always plan my flights !

To be serious again :
take a short trip (say 50nm), and you will work harder in the CJ to cope all the things you need to do, that īs all I meant
