The brakes are not as good as at the ones on the Challenger 300, but they are carbon as well, if you step on them they brake, without "duck walk", it performs as the book says, if you fly it like the book says..
Autobrake option is on/off and operate at mains touchdown..expect some deceleration

APU honeywell indeed

The water reservoir is located at the very back of the plane , and the feeder lines are made in a rigid plastic material, therefore in winter you need to drain the whole system and it is a bit of a pain since it needs bleed air..now try to empty the water tank on the apron in GVA....

If you do not do it if will freeze and break hence leaks.... but again this is in the ground service manual, so it should not be an issue. NJE was so smart that they had a "special procedure" to solve the issue, therefore it keeps on breaking LoL

The LXS is a nice bird, by the time you will get one, you might be able to use all the goodies on it.

The 2000 EX / LX / LXS are fine birds, no big worries, but it is Dassault, and something to remember , with Dassault, it seems that you do not own the plane, barely have the right to fly it, but once you are contaminated , difficult to switch back...
