Phoenix Sky Harbor Intl (KPHX) has 3 runways. The longest is 08/26 at 11,489 ft. It is concrete, like the other runways at the field. The shortest runway is 07R/25L at 7,800 ft. The airport has a control tower with 24-hour service. ILS is published for runway ends 07L, 07R, 08, 25L and 26. Noise abatement procedures are in effect, so review the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure. The runway layout gives you two east-west parallels, 07L/25R and 07R/25L, plus 08/26. Runway 07L has right traffic published. Runway 26 also has right traffic published. That matters for pattern work and for local familiarity. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns something different. KPHX is tower controlled, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 07L and runway 26. That is the key pattern note here. Expect the tower to manage runway assignments closely at this busy field. Review the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight. If you are flying a piston aircraft, brief the pattern direction and runway-specific noise abatement before arrival.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
