There is no difference to look at or indeed operationally. It consists of the flaps and slats deploying in a very slightly different order, speed brakes deploying by an additional 2-3 degrees on landing and Carbon brakes. It enables the aircraft to lift more in the same conditions when compared to a non-SFP aircraft.

Carbon brakes are not related to SFP, and can be fitted to both SFP and non-SFP aircraft. Some SFP aircraft also have a 2-position tailskid that lowers takeoff and approach speeds, and enables operation out of even shorter runways than the "standard" SFP.
