Narrative:

On descent, we were expecting an 'easterly' landing. The normal approach is to runway 8R, which we briefed, and were initially assigned. We were then changed to 'localizer DME 9' approach. I assumed that we would be flying the ILS 9, no GS approach, and set the radios for that approach. We were cleared to intercept the localizer, and I changed to raw data to check the ILS, as is our company procedure. I found no localizer indication, and no identify. I pointed this out to the captain, who used the FMS to line up on the runway centerline, while I queried the cdg approach controller. He told me to tune to 109.35, a new frequency, for the localizer. We received identify, and just at that moment, we saw the runway, and completed the approach visually. After landing, we checked and relayed that we had no approach plate for the localizer DME 9 approach, and that it was notamed to be a temporary approach procedure. So, we flew an approach and landing without the appropriate approach plate. Later, we learned that the temporary plate should have been in our latest revision, but was not! Commercial chart publication messed up! And, as a result, so did we! Contributing factors were, in my opinion, the fact that it was french airspace, with concurrent language problems, and fatigue. Neither first officer on this flight was able to rest during the designated 'break' due to cabin noise from the airline's new 'business' service.

Title: B767 CREW CLRED FOR APCH THAT WAS TEMPORARY DID NOT HAVE THE CHART IN THEIR POSSESSION. IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN CURRENT REVISION UPDATE. PROB DISCOVERED LATE IN APCH. WITH THE AID OF FMS, CTLR AND VMC, RWY WAS SIGHTED AND VISUAL APCH COMPLETED.

Narrative: ON DSCNT, WE WERE EXPECTING AN 'EASTERLY' LNDG. THE NORMAL APCH IS TO RWY 8R, WHICH WE BRIEFED, AND WERE INITIALLY ASSIGNED. WE WERE THEN CHANGED TO 'LOC DME 9' APCH. I ASSUMED THAT WE WOULD BE FLYING THE ILS 9, NO GS APCH, AND SET THE RADIOS FOR THAT APCH. WE WERE CLRED TO INTERCEPT THE LOC, AND I CHANGED TO RAW DATA TO CHK THE ILS, AS IS OUR COMPANY PROC. I FOUND NO LOC INDICATION, AND NO IDENT. I POINTED THIS OUT TO THE CAPT, WHO USED THE FMS TO LINE UP ON THE RWY CTRLINE, WHILE I QUERIED THE CDG APCH CTLR. HE TOLD ME TO TUNE TO 109.35, A NEW FREQ, FOR THE LOC. WE RECEIVED IDENT, AND JUST AT THAT MOMENT, WE SAW THE RWY, AND COMPLETED THE APCH VISUALLY. AFTER LNDG, WE CHKED AND RELAYED THAT WE HAD NO APCH PLATE FOR THE LOC DME 9 APCH, AND THAT IT WAS NOTAMED TO BE A TEMPORARY APCH PROC. SO, WE FLEW AN APCH AND LNDG WITHOUT THE APPROPRIATE APCH PLATE. LATER, WE LEARNED THAT THE TEMPORARY PLATE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN OUR LATEST REVISION, BUT WAS NOT! COMMERCIAL CHART PUB MESSED UP! AND, AS A RESULT, SO DID WE! CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE, IN MY OPINION, THE FACT THAT IT WAS FRENCH AIRSPACE, WITH CONCURRENT LANGUAGE PROBS, AND FATIGUE. NEITHER FO ON THIS FLT WAS ABLE TO REST DURING THE DESIGNATED 'BREAK' DUE TO CABIN NOISE FROM THE AIRLINE'S NEW 'BUSINESS' SVC.
