Now here is an interesting chart to get your mind around. Scroll down to

Wow. Never saw a chart like that before. Granted, it's not really clear
what the 1.2 % is related to. That's only a 0.7 degree angle, much lower
than what any aircraft would like be using for an approach. But there are
still a lot of tall obstacles close to the airport!

Are these obstacle charts standard in Europe or anywhere else? They aren't
used at all in the US, as far as I know.
