Got to watch out for mountains covered by heavy clouds!!
To make it easy to have very safe approach to runway 25 without hitting mountains is to follow highway route number 6
On approach path above highway route number 6 while avoiding mountains on both sides of the plane
You can see how the plane followed the highway 6 all the way to the runway 25. Maybe FAA should call it Highway Route 6 Approach!!!
