FADEC best thing since sliced bread
engines are synched
Gens are automatic
Bleeds are automatic
xbleed start is a cinch
one fire test button
cabin temp is better designed
map light over head
better performance easy cruise .83
nose wheel door stays open on the ground nice for preflight
APU exhaust is way above your head.
Wings are higher on the ground nice for preflight
lands like a jet
at GJ we have ACARS which you will learn to love!
dual FMS in all GJ planes
dual radar heads you can have different ranges selected
first class section
forward baggage compartment
slats
a little lower vref
not as much of a CG problem as the 200
nav lights have a redundant nav light only one on at a time
hydraulic operated thrust reversers
more powerful electrical system
two flight attendants which can be good or bad
