For certain landings at Detroit Metro Airport, some pilots have to approach at an angle on the western-most runway.
To do that, they use an antenna system called an Instrument Landing System (ILS) Yankee offset localizer. Itâs most often used when the airport is trying to run triple approaches on its runways to increase capacity.
