Incidents at KDTW
312 events · last 30 days · Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW) recorded 312 detected events in the last 30 days. The breakdown: 152 returns to field, 42 unstable approaches, 27 go-arounds, 1 stall warning, and 1 rejected takeoff. SkyMeter classifies these events from raw ADS-B trace data using deterministic detectors: go-around from altitude / vertical-speed reversals after final approach, unstable approach from gate-by-gate stability scoring against per-runway statistical envelopes, and stall / overspeed from broadcast IAS / Mach against per-type speed envelopes. Counts reflect detected events, not adjudicated incidents.

What these mean
Quick reference
Detection is complicated. ADS-B is imperfect. Gaps, ghost signals, coverage dead zones, missing airport metadata, training patterns, parallel-runway activity, and unfamiliar aircraft types all create false positives. These are signals worth reviewing, not official incident reports.
