D86 field & runways
Sequoia Fld, Visalia, California. Field elevation 313 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 15.0°E on record, 12.0°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 0.084°/year west — about 1° every 12 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 143.2° | 131.2° | matches rule gives runway 14 in ~46 yr | 3,012 ft | ASPH | left | |
| 31 | 323.2° | 311.2° | matches rule gives runway 32 in ~46 yr | 3,012 ft | ASPH | left |
