Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is benefitting from air traffic improvements. Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures use satellite-based precision to fly more direct routes with more efficient climbs and descents. These routes reduce carbon emissions and provide a flexible airspace system capable of efficiently handling the demands and complexities of the future.
