Can you provide an example of an approach plate with the statement "PT
MANDATORY", or something similar?


There is no provision for such wording because terminal routes that do
not have "NoPT" affixed to them on the 14 CFR 97 Form 8260-3/5 are, by
implication "PT Required" except when timed approaches are used or ATC
provides vectors in accordance with 7110.65, Para 5-9-1.

As you know the word "MANDATORY" on Part 97 procedures is used when
altitudes are not "at or above."

And, where a 8260-3/5 does not have a course reversal authorized on the
procedure, then all terminal routes, by implication, are "NoPT." In
that case, NACO charts "PT Not Authorized;" Jeppesen does not because
they feel it is obvious on such a procedure.
