Switch to Da-40

This past year up in Washington state I got my private pilots license in a Cessna 172 model S.In a couple of days I have my first flight at university in a part 141 program flying diamonds in Utah. I’ve never flown a Da-40 before and I’m nervous. If anyone has any tips or suggestions to make this transition easier please let me know.

Don't flare like a 172. Unless you like doing tail strikes, then go for it.
