STAR with a transition to the IAF or FAF is more common in Europe, often it’s flown that way.

Jump to postRNAV is Random Navigation (RNAV) meaning the tracks do not have to fly over or be based on ground NAVAIDS, VOR or VOR/DME. RNAV is inherently more customizable and, if GPS-based, more accurate. The track tolerances are linear, rather than splays as VOR tracks are.

I didn’t fly or flog them, but as a guess, more efficient wing which is a Dassault specialty, assuming it’s true in service. If those are marketing numbers, I’d be dubious. Dassault bragged for years their wings didn’t need winglets. Until they did.
