Thanks to Fujimonster here are some codes that are used in the document:

TODA = TakeOff Distance Available

LDA = landing distance available

SRA = Surveillance Radar Approach .. the controller gives you instructions how to stay in the axis and where to descend. Also called PAR approach but that is Precision Approach Radar (ps: a bit like the military on a carrier-ship

Approach Minima = B737/A320 is an Cat C aircraft. MD11/747 is an Cat D aircraft. this category is based on prescribed approach speed; not on the weight. Visibility for SRA appr: minimum visibility to be authorised to execute that approach. For example if Cat3 on 25L .... 125m visibility required. For SRA approach on 25L .... 3600m visibility required.

PAPI = Precision Approach Path Indicator
These are the 4 lights aside the runway (sometimes left only; sometimes both sides) If prefectly on the descend slope; it indicates 2 whites and 2 reds.
