Approach coverage and runway layout

Detroit Metro Wayne County’s approach set is concentrated on eight runway ends, with several procedures available for each served end. The mix of 29 ILS, 26 RNAV (GPS) and eight localiser approaches provides both ground-based and satellite-based procedure coverage; five ILS procedures include CAT II/III minima. Six dimensioned concrete runways range from 8,500 ft to 12,003 ft, combining parallel 03/21 and 04/22 alignments with the 09/27 pair.

Surrounding chart coverage

Nearby procedure coverage is much thinner than at DTW. Willow Run has the broadest neighbouring set, while Ann Arbor, Grosse Ile and Custer are similarly represented; Canton-Plymouth-Mettetal has only two charts. The Detroit Sectional supplies wider-area VFR context, the Terminal Area Chart adds more focused Detroit-area detail, and the Helicopter Route Chart covers the published helicopter-route structure.

106 current FAA charts for Detroit Metro Wayne County, including 52 instrument approachs, 29 departure procedures, 21 arrival procedures, 1 airport diagram. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 3 September 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KDTW?

Tower 118.4, 128.125, 128.75, 135.0; Ground 119.25, 119.45, 121.8, 132.725; ATIS 118.125, 133.675; UNICOM 122.95; Clearance delivery 120.65. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KDTW?

Detroit Metro Wayne County has 7 runways. The longest is 04R/22L at 12,003 ft by 200 ft, concrete. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KDTW have an ILS approach?

Yes — 26 ILS procedures are published, including CAT II/III minima. In total KDTW has 53 published instrument approaches, of which 26 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KDTW airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Detroit Metro Wayne County is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Does KDTW have CAT II or CAT III approaches?

Yes. 4 of the published ILS procedures carry CAT II/III minima, which allow approaches in lower visibility than a standard CAT I ILS. Those plates are listed separately in the approach table above, marked CAT II or CAT III in the chart name.

Is KDTW a towered airport?

Yes. Detroit Metro Wayne County has an operating control tower, within Cleveland Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.

How many runways does KDTW have?

7, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.

Are these KDTW charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 3 September 2026, which is superseded on 1 October 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
