STARs for CLE are not flow dependent

SIDs for DTW

  • The top altitude for all DTW SIDs is “as assigned by ATC”
  • PDC will include “Climb Via (SID) Except Maintain Seven Thousand”
  • Departure controller will typically issue “Climb Via (SID) Except Maintain One Seven Thousand,” or if no downwind traffic, “Climb and Maintain One Seven Thousand”

SIDs for CLE

  • The top altitude for all CLE SIDs is 14,000 feet
  • PDC will include “Climb Via (SID)”

Departure handling during weather events

  • When weather impacts one of more of the SIDs, Detroit Tower and Cleveland Tower may utilize radar vectors instead of the initial RNAV course
  • Aircraft will be cleared direct to a fix on the RNAV procedure at or near the TRACON boundary
