This flight involved a lot of preparation to find a slot with lesser scheduled airline traffic at DTW. There was a 20 min gap in schedule, and I had to perfectly time the takeoff from PTK to make it exactly within that time slot. ATC is there to help us if we put in the effort to understand the traffic flow. I flew at 170 MPH (most large jets configure for 140kts approach speed) all the way till 4 miles on final, making sure I'm not slowing the rest of the traffic flow.
Needless to say, landing at a Bravo airport like DTW in a small plane is a huge confidence builder and also super fun. Thanks to our incredible ATC for letting us do this.
