Y'All,
I can recall at early visit to SFBay Tracon early in my career that
the radar scope showed all the freeway traffic as well as the few aircraft
aloft. Very difficult to interpret until the French came up with a way,
electronically to remove all the slow moving targets. Initially it was
possible for an aircraft flying an arc around the antenna at a specific
distance to disappear from the scope. Don't know if problem has been
solved. Anyone know?

As to subtleties of procedures, the frogs have chosen to make one chart
needlessly complex to save paper. Jeppesen charts that procedure (three
procedures actually) on three separate charts.

Lots of human-factors opportunity for error when using unfamilar charts to
fly
instrument procedures.

approach - in IMC at night.
