6V5 field & runways
Bison Muni, Bison, South Dakota. Field elevation 2791 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 11.0°E on record, 6.5°E today.
The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.075°/year west — about 1° every 13 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |

| 29 | 300.4° | 293.9° | matches rule gives runway 30 in ~15 yr | 3,500 ft | ASPH | left |
