Can You Read This Phoenix ILS 25L Approach Plate?

ILS·Phoenix Sky Harbor International (KPHX)·RWY 25L·10 Questions·Premium

Phoenix Sky Harbor sits in the high desert at over 1100 ft, so its approach altitudes look high until you account for elevation. The ILS RWY 25L plate features a climbing LEFT-turn missed approach to POPKE, a three-sector MSA rising toward the surrounding terrain, simultaneous approaches with Rwy 26, and an unusual "autopilot coupled approach NA below 1925" note. This quiz tests whether you can read a busy desert-hub plate accurately.
