(WXYZ) â The 7 Investigators were the first to expose an unsafe landing system at Detroit Metro Airport. Now one of Michiganâs congresswomen, who sits on a committee that controls the purse strings of the FAA, is weighing in and sheâs asking the agency for answers.
For landings on the western-most runway at Detroit Metro Airport, pilots have to approach at an angle. To do that, theyâve been using an antenna system called an Instrument Landing System, or ILS, Yankee offset localizer. Air traffic controllers say its placement at Metro Airport results in the signal getting interrupted, especially when planes taxi right in front of it in something called the âcritical area.â
