I especially like the fact that while altitudes are in feet (and speeds in
knots), RVRs and visibility figures are in metres.
That's standard ICAO (blue table), used almost everywhere outside N America,
except the old eastern block, some of whom use metres for vertical level.
Visibilities and RVRs are all quoted in metres in METARs.
What I find weird about that LFKJ approach is the minimum RVR of 1200 m with
a DH of 1050 ft above the threshold. Thus the decision point is 3 miles
out: they must have some pretty bright boats moored on the approach...
BTW, you can access all the French IAPs in PDF form at

Some of the Paris ones are complex in a rather different way -- three plates
required for one approach.
