8C4 field & runways
Mathews Meml, Tipton, Iowa. Field elevation 840 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 2.0°E on record, 1.6°W 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 0.046°/year west — about 1° every 22 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
