It's been a while but you might expect...metric flight levels, NO direct (short-cut) routeing, multiple frequency changes on approach sectors resulting in step descents, clearance to fly an ILS from points far out, QFE approaches, low platform heights, shallow glideslopes (typically 2.7 deg), "are you ready to land?" from ATC, rough runway, taxiway and apron surfaces, almost always a "standby" after requesting start to allow for the follow-me vehicle to get to your position. Very cold winters so make full use of cold weather correction charts! That's about as much as I can remember. Hope it is of help. Daswidania!

Don't fly VNAV approaches using QFE, the ground won't be where you expect it to be.

Good Luck
