tubes, static ports, and angle-of- attack vanes are replaced by “smart probes,” which incorporate all of those features into one unit. The single-point refueling panel allows the pilot to preselect a desired fuel quantity for the airplane; the system automatically closes the refueling valve when that quantity is reached so that the pilot need not make a calculation and tell the fueler precisely how many gallons the airplane should be serviced with. External servicing of the lavatory can be performed through a panel at the trailing edge of the right wing.A trimable stabilizer is a feature of big airplanes reminiscent of Boeings and Airbuses; elevator trim tabs are not used for trimming – instead the entire stabilizer leading edge moves up and down with an electric jackscrew. Also, a unique feature called a ventral rudder, located beneath the airplane’s tail cone, functions as an automatic yaw damper in all phases of flight, without having to be activated by the pilot.Starting the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535-E engines is quite simple.
