Willow Run sits in Detroit, Michigan. Field elevation is 715.9 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 05/23 at 7,543 ft. That gives you a long concrete option plus a 5,001 ft asphalt runway on 09/27. The tower is open 24 hours. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC says otherwise.
ILS is available to runway ends 05 and 23. That matters here because the field sees a mix of airline, cargo and general aviation traffic. The airport is closed to scheduled aircraft operations greater than nine passenger seats. Unscheduled aircraft operations with more than 30 passenger seats need 72 hours prior permission. The airport is also a LRA airport. Birds are reported on and near the field, so keep your scan active on departure and arrival.
Avflight Willow Run is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Velocity Aviation, formerly Odyssey Aviation, is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note a wrong-surface arrival risk near taxiway G and runway 09/27. Runway 09/27 has only the 80 ft center portion grooved. Runway 09 also has a displaced threshold with a 50 to 1 obstruction clearance slope. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operational changes before you go.
