Detroit Metro Wayne County (KDTW) has 6 runways. The longest is 04R/22L at 12,003 ft. All runways are concrete. The field elevation is 645.2 ft MSL. The control tower is open 24 hours.
Published ILS runway ends include 03R, 04L, 04R, 04X, 21L, 22L, 22R, 22X, 27L and 27R. Runway headings in the facts are magnetic. The 03L/21R and 03R/21L pair is listed with 29°/209°. The 04L/22R, 04R/22L and the published 04X and 22X ends are listed with 29°/209°. The 09R/27L and 09L/27R pair is listed with 89°/269°.
No runway-specific noise abatement notes are published in the facts. No LAHSO notes are published either. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest runway and airport data before flight.

Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, assume standard 1,000 ft AGL unless ATC assigns something different. At KDTW, the tower is open 24 hours. ATC sequences traffic in the pattern and on final.
Runway use is complex here because the airport has six concrete runways. Expect tower instructions to drive pattern flow. The published runway ends with ILS support are 03R, 04L, 04R, 04X, 21L, 22L, 22R, 22X, 27L and 27R. No right-traffic exceptions are published in the facts. No special pattern notes are published beyond that.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
